n-Type In-filled CoSb₃ is a known skutterudite compound that has shown promising thermoelectric (TE) properties resulting in high dimensionless figure of merit values at elevated temperatures. Use in various waste heat recovery applications will require survival and operation after exposure to harsh thermal cycling environments. This research focused on uncovering...
Filled skutterudites are promising thermoelectric materials due to reduced thermal
conductivity upon inserting a guest atom or 'rattler' into the CoSb₃ structure. By using an
indium rattler dimensionless Figure of Merit (ZT) values > 1 at 650 K have been reported.
The conventional synthesis of these compounds typically takes several...
