Abstract

Ca₃Co₄-_xCu_xO₉ + a(x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10 and 0.15) samples were prepared by conventional solid-state synthesis and their thermoelectric properties were systematically investigated. The thermopower of all the samples was positive, indicating that the predominant carriers are holes over the entire temperature range. Ca ₃Co_3.85Cu_0.15O₉ ₊ δ had the highest power factor of 2.17 μW cm¹ K² at 141 K, representing an improvement of about 64.4% compared to undoped Ca ₃Co₄O₉₊ δ. Magnetization measurements indicated that all the samples exhibit a low-spin state of cobalt ions. The observed effective magnetic moments decreased with increasing copper content.
