    Bulk CuAlO2 delafossite has been synthesized by solid state reaction to reinvestigate the thermoelectric properties. The electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity were measured in a high temperature range of 300 to 960 K. The result of positive sign of Seebeck coefficient confirms p-type nature of CuAlO2 compund. The results of bulk sample for Seebeck coefficient, the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are range of 900 to 300 μV/K, of 0.01 to 2 S/cm, and of 3.5 W/mK to 1.5 W/mK. The maximum ZT value of bulk sample is 0.017 at a 960 K. These results can be concluded that the bulk CuAlO2 by solid state state displays thermoelelctric material.

    In this paper, the CuFeO<inf>2</inf> compound were prepared by classical solid state reaction (CSSR) and direct powder dissolved solution (DPDS) method from starting material metal oxides and metal powders. Preparation of two methods shows that, direct powder dissolved solution faster recover phases than classical solid state reaction method. The fastest method gets from starting materials Cu and Fe metal powders, the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, carrier concentration and mobility are 10. 68 S/cm, 244. 59 μV/K, 12. 86×10<sup>16</sup> cm<sup>-3</sup> and 494. 96 cm2/V. s, respectively. In addition, each CuFeO<inf>2</inf> compounds were investigated on crystal structure and electrical properties. From XRD and SEM results, all samples have a crystal structure delafossitetype (R3m) and a large grain boundary more than 15 μm by electrical conductivity corresponds to grain boundary and lattice parameter: a increases. Within this paper, from above results exhibit that preparation CuFeO<inf>2</inf> from Cu and Fe by direct powder dissolved solution method most appropriate for thermoelectric oxide materials due to high active for preparation else high lattice strain and high power factor are 0. 00052 and 0. 64×10<sup>-4</sup> W/mK<sup>2</sup>, respectively. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    In this work, the polycrystalline CuFe1-xSnxO2 (x = 0.005, 0.01, 0.03) were synthesized by a solid state reaction method with sintering temperature at 1323K for 40 hours. The XRD pattern and TGA results showed the crystal structure of hexagonal delafossite-type structure for space group (166). Thermal conductivity was decreased because the large atomic mass of the Sn substituted to the Fe sites of CuFeO2. This caused phonon scattering by the point defect of the mass difference between Sn atom and Fe atom. The minimal value of the thermal conductivity was 2.1 W/mK at 573K for Sn = 0.03. © 2015
