The oxidation behavior of CoSb3thermoelectric material in air has been studied from 500°C to 650°C. The present work showed that the growth of oxide scale on CoSb3material obeyed a parabolic law from 500°C to 600°C, while tremendous weight loss occurred at 650°C owing to the sublimation of Sb2O3. The oxidation activation energy of CoSb3was estimated to be 37.4kJ/mol. SEM and XRD results showed that the oxide scale of CoSb3was the mixture of Sb2O3and CoSb2O6when CoSb3was oxidized below 600°C; whereas the oxide scale consisted of an outer layer of Sb2O3and an inner layer, which was composed of Sb2O3and CoSb2O6, when CoSb3was oxidized at 650°C. Cracks appeared at the scale/CoSb3interface after a certain oxidation time. The oxidation mechanism of CoSb3material was discussed. After oxidation at 650°C for 48h, thermoelectric performance of CoSb3declined obviously and ZT value decreased from 0.24 to 0.17 at 327°C.
