Prediction of room-temperature high-thermoelectric performance in n -type La(Ru1−xRhx)4Sb12

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: First-principles calculations are used to investigate the band structure and the transport-related properties of unfilled and filled 4d skutterudite antimonides. The calculations show that, while RhSb3 and p-type La(Rh,Ru)4Sb12 are unfavorable for thermoelectric application, n-type La(Rh,Ru)4Sb12 is very likely a high figure-of-merit thermoelectric material in the important temperature range 150–300 K.
