A new composite formed by three phases, two of them with well-known thermoelectric properties, Bi 2Ca2Co 1.7Ox and Ca 3Co 4O 9, was obtained for the first time when the growth process was performed with a 300 mA applied current. Under these conditions the thermoelectric performances of this new composite reach values above the highest ones reported in the literature for polycrystalline Bi 2Ca2Co 1.7Ox materials.2014http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/168094http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/168094oai:zaguan.unizar.es:168094info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T12info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T87Scripta Materialia 80 (2014), [4 pp.]by-nc-ndhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
