BaFe4Sb12
metal· JVASP-121823· BaFe4Sb12
BaFe4Sb12 is an intermetallic compound belonging to the skutterudite family, characterized by a cage-like crystal structure with barium atoms housed within an iron-antimony framework. This material is primarily investigated for thermoelectric applications where its unique crystal structure enables low thermal conductivity while maintaining electrical conductivity, making it a candidate for solid-state energy conversion devices. The skutterudite family represents an emerging class of materials for waste heat recovery and power generation, offering potential advantages over conventional thermoelectric alloys in mid-to-high temperature operating ranges.
