| ABSTRACT |
|
Layer-structured $Na_xCo_2O_4$ was synthesized from $Na_2CO_3;and;Co_3O_4$ powders. The chemical concentrations of Na and additive were controlled to enhance the thermoelectric properties over the temperature range from 400 K to 1,150 K. As a result, we obtained the maximum thermoelectric properties at a single phase region with Na content of x=1.5. When Na content was smaller than x=1.5, the thermoelectric properties was low due to formation of second phases of CoO and other oxides. Additionally, Mn was doped to improve thermoelectric properties by means of decreasing thermal conductivity. The results showed that the concentrations of both Na and Mn are all governing factors to determine the thermoelectric properties of $Na_xCo_2O_4$ system. |
