The size of the synthesized powders was approximately 23 nm. The green pellets were sintered at 1150-1300 C at a step size of 50 C. Sintered Ca08Dy02MnO3 bodies crystallized in the perovskite structure with an orthorhombic symmetry. The sintering temperature did not affect the Seebeck coefficient but significantly affected the electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of increased with increasing temperature indicating a semiconducting behavior. The absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient gradually increased with an increase in temperature. The highest power factor X 10-5 Wm-1 K-2 at 800 C was obtained for sintered at 1 250 C. In this study we investigated the microstructure and thermoelectric properties of depending on sintering temperature. Keywords electrical conductivity solution combustion process Seebeck coefficient power factor 1. Introduction Solid-state thermoelectric power generation based on Seebeck effects has potential applications in waste-heat recovery. Thermoelectric generation is thermodynamically similar to conventional vapor power generation or heat pumping cycles 1 . Thermoelectric devices are not complicate have no moving parts and use electrons as working fluid instead of physical gases or liquids 1 2 . The efficiency of thermoelectric devices is determined by the materials dimensionless figure-of-merit defined as ZT ơa K T where Ơ a K and T are the electrical conductivity Seebeck coefficient thermal conductivity and absolute temperature respectively.
