Research Abstract |
The partially nitrogen-substituted titanium oxide was synthesized by a solid state reaction of TiO_2 and TiN. It was confirmed that the single phase of each magneli structure, Ti_nO_<2n-1> (n=9~5), can be obtained by the adjustment of mixing ratio in raw powders. In the magneli titanium oxynitride, electrical conductivity was significantly improved compared to TiO_2 while Seebeck coefficient was decreased. In addition, the periodical defect in the crystal structure of magneli phase induces phonon scattering, resulting in the reduction of thermal conductivity. From these effects, the oxynitride titanium exhibits the much higher thermoelectric performance compared to TiO_2.
