Characterization results reveal that targeted phase is successfully produced, and doping of the compositions is provided. Doping of Y and rare-earth elements together with Ag into the Ca2+ site is effective in increasing the Seebeck coefficient and decreasing the electrical resistivity of the samples, thanks to the reduction in carrier concentration. Thermal conductivity of the samples is reduced related to the lower relative densities and alloy scattering originated from dually doping. Among the samples, Ca2.5Ag0.3Ho0.2Co4O9 and Ca2.5Ag0.3Eu0.2Co4O9 exhibit the highest power factor (PF) values of 0.65 and 0.62 mW m(-1) K-2 at 800 degrees C, respectively. These results are quite high for bulk oxide TE materials which can be assessed as potential oxide TE materials for high-temperature TE power generation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessdually dopingfigures of meritoxide thermoelectricssol-gelthermoelectric propertiesArticle10.1002/pssa.2020000562-s2.0-8508558315715Q2217WOS:000535583400001Q3
