The Materials Map is an open tool for improving networking and interdisciplinary exchange within materials research. It enables cross-database search for cooperation and network partners and discovering of the research landscape.

The dashboard provides detailed information about the selected scientist, e.g. publications. The dashboard can be filtered and shows the relationship to co-authors in different diagrams. In addition, a link is provided to find contact information.

Materials Map under construction

The Materials Map is still under development. In its current state, it is only based on one single data source and, thus, incomplete and contains duplicates. We are working on incorporating new open data sources like ORCID to improve the quality and the timeliness of our data. We will update Materials Map as soon as possible and kindly ask for your patience.

Abstract

Tungsten bronze structured materials have attracted attention as possible thermoelectrics because of their complex crystal structure. In this work, a new thermoelectric ceramic with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TB) structure, Ba6Ti2Nb8O30 (BTN) was prepared by the conventional mixed oxide (MO) route with some samples processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). Additions of MnO enabled fabrication of high density BTN ceramics at the low sintering temperature of 1580 K in air and by SPS. All samples were annealed in a reducing atmosphere after sintering. X-ray diffraction showed that Ba6Ti2Nb8O30 crystallises with tetragonal symmetry (P4bm space group). HAADF-EELS analysis confirmed the proposed crystal structure and provided exact elemental distributions in the lattice, showing higher concentrations of Ti in the 2b lattice sites compared to the 8d lattice sites. XPS showed the presence of two spin-orbit double peaks at 207.7eV in the reduced BTN samples, confirming the presence of Nb4+ ions. By the use of a sintering aid and optimisation of the processing parameters the ceramics achieved a high power factor of 280 μW/m∙K2 at 873 K. The BTN ceramics showed phonon glass type thermal conduction behaviour with low thermal conductivity of 1.7 to 1.65 W/m.K at 300 to 873 K. A thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of 0.14 was achieved at 873 K. This ZT value is comparable with results for many TB thermoelectrics. However, BTN has the advantage of much easier processing.
