Abstract
In this paper, the CuFeO2 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. 86×1016 cm-3 and 494. 96 cm2/V. s, respectively. In addition, each CuFeO2 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 CuFeO2 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. 64×10-4 W/mK2, respectively. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
