Starting with elementary powders, thermoelectric materials CexCo4Sb12 were prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering (MA-SPS). XRD analyses reveal that the expected major phase, named skutterudite was formed in MA process and was kept after SPS. The thermoelectric properties of MA-SPS samples including resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, power factor, thermal conductivity and the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) were studied by varying Ce content and temperature. Depending on Ce levels, both P and N types of thermoelectric semiconductors were obtained. MA-SPS sintered Ce1.0Co4Sb12 exhibits the highest ZT in the range of 100~500 ℃ and the maximum ZT is found at x=1.0 and 400 ℃.
