In the present work, a series of single phase Ni-doped skutterudite compounds NixCo4−xSb12 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) were successful synthesized by 5 min microwave heating for the first time. The resulting ingots was pulverized and sintered by spark plasma sintering to fabricate bulk samples, and their microstructure and thermoelectric properties have been investigated systematically. The results...
