Abstract

Thermoelectric calcium cobalt oxide (Ca1.24Co1.62O3.86) with high Seebeck coefficient was prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) followed by a short post treatment process. Synthesized samples were analyzed by XRD for their phase purity for samples prepared from different reactants mixtures. A final element model of SHS of calcium cobalt oxide was developed to study the temperature history and reaction rate change during the synthesis. This model can be used to predict reaction temperatures for various initial conditions.
