The filling fraction limit (FFL) of skutterudites, that is, the complex balance of formation
enthalpies among different species, is an intricate but crucial parameter for achieving high …

Polycrystalline K-filled Co Sb 3 are synthesized successfully. The uplimit for K filling is at
least 0.45, being higher than those of either alkaline-earth (AE) or rare-earth (RE) metals but …

Although filled skutterudites are actively being developed for automotive waste heat
recovery the compositions considered available are limited. Typically synthesis conditions …

Single-phase polycrystalline dual-element-filled skutterudites BaxCeyCo4Sb12 (0< x< 0.4,
0< y< 0.1) are synthesized by the melting–quenching–annealing and spark plasma sintering …

Skutterudites are among the most exciting thermoelectric (TE) materials that could be used
for various intermediate temperature applications. This study summarized our recent work …

The filling fraction limitation (FFL) in n-type CoSb3 skutterudites is far below that of p-type
(Fe, Co) Sb3-based skutterudites, and it is critical to increase FFL for accomplishing high …

This work evaluates the influence of single, double and triple filling of didymium, Ca and Ba
in Fe4Sb12 as well as in Fe3CoSb12 on the thermoelectric performance. Various filling …

Thermoelectric materials, which convert heat energy directly into electricity, play an
important role in providing globally sustainable energy. In recent years, much effort has …

Li-filled CoSb3, which is inaccessible under ambient pressure, was successfully synthesized
with a high-pressure synthesis technique, demonstrating a fast and effective way to broaden …
