Abstract

Single-phase hollow spheres based on calcium manganite CaMnO3 and gadolinium-doped Ca0.96Gd0.04MnO3 with the perovskite structure Pnma are synthesized via the method of spray solution combustion synthesis. Spark plasma sintering leads to the production of a secondary phase of marokite CaMn2O4 with the Pbcm structure, while doping promotes to decrease the marokite content. A change in the parameters of the perovskite crystal lattice is established, which indirectly indicates the substitution of Ca2+ with Gd3+ and the formation of oxygen vacancies: both factors lead to a change in the Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio in the structure and, as a consequence, an increase in the electrical conductivity in the doped material due to a decrease in the activation energy of polaron hopping between localized states of Mn3+ and Mn4+. The resulting morphology enhances phonon scattering processes, which leads to a decrease in the thermal conductivity. The combination of the above factors leads to a significant increase in the thermoelectric efficiency: for Ca0.96Gd0.04MnO3 the value zT reaches 0.26 at T = 975 K, which is 117% higher than that of the undoped sample (zT = 0.12). This confirms the promise of the chosen approaches for creating highly efficient thermoelectric ceramics.

钆离子掺杂CaMnO3的热电性能
采用喷雾溶液燃烧合成的方法,合成了钙钛矿CaMnO3和掺钆Ca0.96Gd0.04MnO3为基体的钙钛矿结构Pnma单相空心球。火花等离子烧结制备出具有Pbcm结构的marokite CaMn2O4次级相,而掺杂促进了marokite含量的降低。钙钛矿晶格参数的变化间接表明了Ca2+被Gd3+取代和氧空位的形成:这两个因素都导致了结构中Mn3+/Mn4+比例的变化,并且由于Mn3+和Mn4+局域态之间极化子跳变的活化能降低,导致掺杂材料的电导率增加。由此产生的形貌增强了声子散射过程,从而导致导热系数降低。上述因素的综合作用使热电效率显著提高:对于Ca0.96Gd0.04MnO3,在T = 975 K时zT达到0.26,比未掺杂样品(zT = 0.12)提高了117%。这证实了所选择的制造高效热电陶瓷的方法的前景。
