Optimized Yb-filled Fe-substituted skutterudites Yb0.6Fe x Co4? x Sb12 (x = 0, 0.5, and 1.0) were synthesized using a high-pressure technique. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The thermoelectric transport properties of the samples such as Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, carrier concentration, and thermal conductivity were studied in the temperature range of 2?300 K. With 1/8 Fe substitution for the Co site (x = 0.5), the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity were obviously optimized. Carrier concentration analysis indicates that proper Fe substitution can effectively compensate for the excess electrons and optimize the electric transport p...
