Abstract: The effect of sintering temperature on thermoelectric properties of CdO ceramics was investigated by solid-state reaction method within the temperature range of 700–1000°C. With the increase of sintering temperature, both the grain size and the carrier concentration of these samples increased, while the Seebeck coefficient decreased. The highest dimensionless figure of merit ZT , 0.34, was obtained at 1023 K for the sample sintered at 800°C, suggesting the potential application of CdO ceramics in thermoelectric (TE) devices.
