Among them, the thermoelectric properties (electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), Figure of merit (ZT) and calculated thermal conductivity (κ) by S, σ, ZT, and absolute temperature (T)) of bismuth-based rhodium oxides ((Bi1-x,Pbx) 2Sr2Rh2Oy, x = 0 and 0.02, hereafter BSR and BPSR, respectively) were investigated. In comparison with Bi2Sr2Co2Oy (BSC) at 700°C, S and κ enhanced (increased S, 110 (BSR) and 105 μV K-1 (BPSR) from 85 μV K-1 (BSC) and decreased κ, 0.32 (BSR) and 0.50 W m-1 K-1 (BPSR) from 1.75 W m-1 K-1 (BSC)), whereas σ decreased (15 (BSR) and 31 S cm-1 (BPSR) from 70 S cm-1 (BSC)). BPSR reached the highest ZT value of 0.067 at 700°C, compared to those of 0.056 (BSR) and 0.027 (BSC).展开更多
