Abstract
Bi- and Na-substituted polycrystalline samples have been prepared using a hot-pressing technique and their thermoelectric properties were carefully studied in air from room temperature to 1000 K. The substitutions of and for as well as and double substitution, cause both the electrical conductivity (σ) and thermoelectric power to increase simultaneously. The double substitution has also been demonstrated to be effective to decrease the thermal conductivity (κ). The dimensionless figure of merit reaches 0.32 at 1000 K in the double-substituted sample.
