dc.description.abstractThermoelectric mischmetal-filled Mm(x)Co(4)Sb(12) (Mm: natural cocktail of rare-earth elements, mostly Ce and La) skutterudites have been synthesized and sintered in one step under high-pressure conditions at 3.5 GPa in a piston-cylinder hydrostatic press. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction patterns display a splitting of the diffraction peaks ascribed to purely Ce-, and Mm-filled skutterudite phases, which have been analyzed and confirmed by high-resolution TEM and EELS. A total thermal conductivity () of 1.51 W m(-1) K-1 is measured at 773 K for Mm(0.5)Co(4)Sb(12), below that of other filled skutterudites, which is promoted by the enhanced phonon scattering over a broad range of the phonon spectrum due to the inhomogeneous and nanoscale mischmetal inclusion. Compared to undoped CoSb3 skutterudite synthesized by conventional methods, is reduced by a factor of 3, while the power factor is also substantially enhanced.
