Enhancement of thermoelectric efficiency of CoSb3-based skutterudites by double filling with K and Tl

The high-temperature thermoelectric properties of thallium (Tl) and potassium (K) double-filled cobalt antimonide (CoSb3)-based skutterudites with nominal compositions TlxK0.3Co4Sb12 (x = 0.1–0.3) were investigated. The filling fraction of Tl in CoSb3 was enhanced by co-filling with K, which resulte...
