Abstract

Fabrication of thermoelectric Bi-based cobaltites with large magnetic anisotropy (Δχ = χ_c - χ_ab) and relatively low resistivity using a crystallochemical process is reported. Doping of various rare earth (RE) ions into the Ca site in [(Bi_0.5Pb_0.5)₂Ca₂O₄]_yCoO₂ [(Bi, Pb)Ca222] enhanced Δχ comparable to that of [Ca₂CoO_3-δ]_0.62CoO₂. Tailoring of the Sr-doping level in Dy-doped (Bi, Pb)Ca222 enabled the resistivity to be reduced without decreasing Δχ. The magnetically c-axis-oriented (Sr, Dy)-doped (Bi, Pb)Ca222 bulk exhibited improved thermoelectric performance compared with the Sr-free RE-doped BiCa222 and a-axis grain-oriented [(Bi_0.5Pb_0.5)₂Sr₂O₄]_∼0.55 CoO₂.
