Indium-filled CoSb3 skutterudites have been shown previously to have promising thermoelectric properties but the thermal conductivity still remains somewhat high. In order to further decrease the thermal conductivity, the double-filling approach has been adopted using ytterbium, in conjunction with indium, due to its heavy mass and small size. The In0.1YbyCo4Sb12 (y=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20) samples have been prepared by a melting method and subsequently characterized by means of electron microscopy, electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and Hall coefficient measurements. The results show that the ytterbium filling effectively decreases the thermal conductivity without degrading the power factor, resulting in an enhancement of the dimensionless figure of merit ZT. A state-of-the-art ZT value of 0.97 is attained in In0.1Yb0.1Co4Sb12 at 750 (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
