In this work, a novel low-temperature double solvent sol-gel method was used to fabricate (Sm, Ce, Gd) and (Sn, Se, I) co-doped at Bi and Te-sites, respectively, for Bi2Te3 nanostructures. The phase-purity and high crystallinity of as-synthesized nanostructures were confirmed using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The nanopowders were hot-pressed by spark plasma sintering into bulk pellets for thermoelectric properties. The spark plasma sintering temperature significantly affects the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of bulk Bi2Te3 pellets. The electrical conductivities of co-doped samples decrease with an increase in the temperature, but conversely, the Seebeck coefficient is linearly increasing. The power factor showed that the co-dopants enhanced the thermoelectric properties of Bi2Te3 nanopowders.

Densification of antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) ceramics without sintering aids is very difficult, due to the volatilization of SnO2, formation of deleterious phases above 1000°C, and poor sintering ability of ATO particles. In this paper, monodispersed ATO nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method, and then ATO nanoceramics with high density were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology using the as-synthesized ATO nanoparticles without the addition of sintering aids. The effect of Sb doping content on the densification was investigated, and the densification mechanisms were explored. The results suggest that ATO nanoparticles derived from sol-gel method show good crystallinity with a crystal size of 5–20 nm and Sb is incorporated into the SnO2crystal structure. When the SPS sintering temperature is 1000°C and the Sb doping content is 5 at.%, the density of ATO nanoceramics reaches a maximum value of 99.2%. Densification mechanisms are explored in detail.
