Enhancement of Thermoelectric Performance of Donor-Doped ZnO Ceramics by Involving an In Situ Aluminothermic Reaction during Processing

Enhancement of Thermoelectric Performance of Donor-Doped ZnO Ceramics by Involving an In Situ Aluminothermic Reaction during Processing

This work explores the possibility of involving aluminothermy in processing donor-doped zinc oxide-based thermoelectrics by relying on local, strong exothermic effects developed during sintering, with a potential positive impact on the electrical and thermal transport properties. The strategy was ex...
