Layered Cobalt Oxides: Correlated Electrons for Thermoelectrics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Thermoelectric Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 182))

Abstract

The layered cobalt oxides with the \(\mathrm{CdI }_2\)-type \(\mathrm{CoO }_2\) block have been extensively studied as good thermoelectric materials at high temperatures since the discovery of large thermoelectric power factor in a \(\mathrm{Na }_x\mathrm{CoO }_x\) single crystal in 1997. In this chapter, we discuss why and how the thermoelectric performance is enhanced in the layered cobalt oxides. We further discuss their peculiar electronic states by comparing the physical properties with those of the layered rhodium oxides, and by controlling the spin state of the cobalt ions in the perovskite-related cobalt oxides.
