THERMOELECTRIC MATERIALS

Abstract

A special, sealed cell was constructed for the determination of the Seebeck coefficient of cuprous sulfide under 1 atm S pressure from 1170 to 1020 C. Cuprous sulfide with excess Cu had much lower thermal electromotive force than either cuprous sulfide or Cu2S under 1 atm pressure of S vapor. Examination of the test cell after cooling to room temperature indicated that the method was not suitable for resistivity measurement. Preliminary experiments were made on the mutual solubility of cuprous chloridecuprous sulfide system. A solubility of 14 mol-% cuprous sulfide in molten cuprous chloride was found at 400 C.
