Nanometer-sized (SrxCa1-x)3Co4O9powders were prepared using the sol-gel process. Two Ca-Co-O ceramic thermoelectric materials were then prepared and characterized with X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The microstructure and thermoelectric properties of the ceramic materials were studied. The experimental results showed that the crystals of (SrxCa1-x)3CO4grew into materials with high density and low pore rate under optimal Sr-doped conditions. The (SrxCa1-x)3Co4O9ceramic materials contain directional arrays with cube-shaped grains in a layered arrangement. The crystals were fully developed and the interface between layers was clear-cut. The thermoelectric properties of (SrxCa1-x)3Co4O9ceramics were greatly improved, with high Seebeck coefficient and high electrical conductivity. The Seebeck Coefficient positively correlated with the rise of temperature.

[Ca2(Co0.65Cu0.35)2O4]0.624CoO2 polycrystalline samples were prepared using sol-gel method followed by spark plasma sintering. Thermoelectric properties of the samples were examined from room temperature to 1000K. The temperature dependence of electrical conductivity shows that the hole hopping conduction mechanism is dominant for the samples. The activation energy of hopping conduction is 0.11 eV. At the temperature of about 1000K, the electrical resistivity is 7.1m cm, the thermopower is 160 μVK-1, the thermal conductivtity is 2.94Wm-1K-1 and dimensionless figure of merit reaches 0.12. These results indicate [Ca2(Co0.65Cu0.35)2O4]0.624CoO2 is a potential material for high temperature thermoelectric energy conversion.
