Abstract
Composition in (Zn0.98-yIny) (yâ¯=â¯0.05, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005) were fabricated via conventional solid-state sintering route under an argon atmosphere at 1400â¯Â°C for 10â¯h (h) their phases, microstructures and thermoelectrical properties were investigated. Single phase ceramics were formed for the composition with yâ¯â¤â¯0.05. The highest power factor (PF) of 481.8â¯ÂµWâ¯Kâ2 mâ1 ±â¯0.2, Seebeck coefficient â98.08â¯ÂµVâ¯Kâ1 ±â¯0.2 and electrical resistivity (Ï) of 1.997â¯mΩâ¯cmâ¯Â±â¯0.2 was obtained for xâ¯=â¯0.02, yâ¯=â¯0.005 i.e., (Zn0.975Al0.02In0.005)O. It is studied that PF is a function of lattice parameter c/a ratio. The resistivities of all the compositions were tuned. These tuned resistivities will be helpful for future thermoelectric devices.
