Extract

A high-throughput screening technique has been developed and was utilized in the discovery of a new n-type oxide possessing good thermoelectric properties. Screening of metal binary systems consisting of 3d transition metals using this technique showed LaNiO3 to possess the desired n-type properties. Electrical resistivity (ρ) of this oxide is favorably quite low, however, the Seebeck coefficient (S) is as small as –25 μV/K. To enhance the thermoelectric properties of LaNiO3, high-throughput screening was employed to examine candidates from the metal ternary La1–xMxNiO3 and LaNi1–xNxO3 systems. Bi substitution in the La1–xMxNiO3 systems and Cu substitution in the LaNi1–xNxO3 systems were found to be effective for improvement of S and ρ respectively.
