Abstract

The development of thermoelectrics for high-temperature applications imposes several essentialrequirements on the material properties. In some energy-conversion scenarios, the cost and thermalstability requirements may dominate over efficiency issues, making abundant, high-temperature-stableand low-toxic oxides attractive alternative thermoelectric materials. As compared to“traditional”thermoelectrics, oxides possess unique redoxflexibility and defect chemistry, which can be preciselytuned by external temperature and oxygen partial pressure conditions. This work aims to demonstratehow, by redox-sensitive substitutions, the thermoelectric properties of oxides can be tuned andenhanced. The proposed strategy is exemplified by considering molybdenum-containing strontiumtitanate within nominally single-substituted and nanocomposite concepts. The involved materials designallows us to proceed from an in-depth understanding of the redox-promoted effects to thedemonstration of the enhanced thermoelectric performance attained by redox engineering. Synergisticenhancement of the Seebeck coefficient and suppression of the thermal conductivity due to combinedcarrierfiltering effects and efficient phonon scattering at redox-induced interfaces provided up to 25%increase in the thermoelectric performance. The results demonstrate extraordinaryflexibility of theperovskite lattice towards retaining a rich combination of the molybdenum redox states and shifting theirratio by tuning the A-site stoichiometry, and the prospects for developing new materials combiningthermoelectric and (electro)catalytic functionalities.
