Abstract
We investigated ThCo4Sb12, an actinium-filled skutterudite, from the ground up for structural,
electronic, and thermoelectric properties. A generalized gradient approximation and modified BeckeJohnson potentials were used to calculate the exchange-correlation potential. The compound is shown
to have metallic properties in the electronic structure calculations. Actinium series element is used as
a void filler in this study. The Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity can be calculated using
Boltzmann’s transport theory. According to the calculations, the Seebeck coefficient is high and the
conductivity is low. Future research will concentrate on increasing electrical conductivity while
decreasing thermal conductivity through the proper filling. Because sustainable energy technologies
have grown in popularity in recent years, thermoelectric materials can play an important role in
improving the efficiency of such technologies, such as waste heat recovery systems.
Keywords: Thermoelectric, structural properties, properties of skutterudite, cobalt and antimony, thermoelectric properties
