Abstract:
CaMnO
3 is an important N-type thermoelectric material. (Ca
1-x Y
x)MnO
3(
x =0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09)thermoelectric samples were synthesized based on solid state reaction method, and thermoelectric properties were measured with self-made equipment. The results show that Y
3+ doping can improve the thermoelectric properties effectively. As for Ca

0.09MnO
3, during the test temperature of high side reaches 880K, the resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and maximum output power are equal to 74 mΩ · m, -112 μV/K, 68 mW, respectively.
