Abstract
The effect of Pb doping on the thermoelectric properties of p-type BiCuSeO from 25 K to 873 K has been studied. The electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of Bi1-xPbxCuSeO both decreased monotonically in all temperature range with increasing Pb content due to the increased carrier concentration. The power factor of Bi1- xPbxCuSeO (x = 0.03) reaches 5.3 μW cm-1 K-2 at 873 K. The influence of Pb2+ doping on the electronic structure is the same as the one obtained with Sr2+, however, the decrease of the holes mobility is reduced as compared to Sr 2+ doping, which could be beneficial to the thermoelectric performances.
