title: Design of seebeck coefficient measurement probe for powder library.
abstract: A thermoelectric evaluation system, attachable to our developed materials exploration system "M-ist Combi" based on the electrostatic spray deposition method, was designed and established for high-throughput to explore new candidate thermoelectric materials. The developed Seebeck coefficient measurement probe consists of two chromel-alumel thermocouples, and one of thermocouples is able to control its own temperature to ensure a temperature difference between thermocouples. The measurement time for each sample was about 5 s. This provides a stabilized time for the thermoelectric power for each sample. And, it was found that the Seebeck coefficient measurement probe could be used as a high-throughput screening tool for exploring candidate thermoelectric materials.
