Thermoelectric Properties of Li-Doped CuO

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Thermoelectric properties of CuO doped with alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+) were investigated at temperatures up to 1273 K. Among the doped alkali metal ions, Li+ ion was the most effective to enhance the thermoelectric properties. The maximum dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit Z T and power factor P were, respectively, 3.2×10-2 and 1.6×10-4 W K-2 m-1 at 1246 K for the 3.0%-Li-doped CuO. The enhancement of the thermoelectric properties of the CuO system was discussed.
