摘要: The effect of Pb in La3Te4?xPbx on the thermoelectric properties temperature range 300?1100?K was studied samples synthesized by melting, ball milling and hot-pressing method. crystallize Th3P4structure. A small amount substitution for Te La3Te4 reduced electrical conductivity, but impurity phase introduced more significantly enhanced conductivity. conductivity La3Te3.6Pb0.4 sample reached 2.06???105?S?m?1 at room temperature. expansion crystal lattice confirmed from x-ray diffraction patterns slight reduction all verify fact that substitutes a site when x is small. Seebeck coefficient increases linearly with samples. While thermal varies slightly temperature, approaches minimum value high temperatures. For La3Te3.7Pb0.3, power factor 1.4???10?3?W?m?1?K?2 1100?K achieved 1.86?W?m?1?K?1, giving maximum figure-of-merit ZT???0.8 1100?K.
