Abstract
Compared with perovskite SrTiO3, SrO(SrTiO3)2 exhibits lower thermal conductivity, while maintaining a high Seebeck coefficient, making it a promising material for photothermoelectric conversion. However, the relationship between its infrared and thermoelectric properties remains unexplored. This study examines the effect of Gd doping on these properties of SrO(SrTiO3)2. Increased Gd doping induces a gradual transformation of SrO(SrTiO3)2-based into a SrTiO3-based material, resulting in a composite comprising three phases and a notable reduction in thermal conductivity. At 973 K, the thermal conductivity decreases to a minimum of 1.4 W m−1 K−1, which is 23 % lower than undoped SrO(SrTiO3)2 and 51 % lower than SrTiO3. Like SrTiO3, SrO(SrTiO3)2 absorbs infrared radiation in the 8–14 μm range. Although the highest ZT value reaches only 0.06 at 973 K, it shows a positive correlation with infrared emissivity. These findings are valuable for advancing the application of thermoelectric effects and the development of high-performance infrared materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
