Recently we established a sintering approach, namely Cold Sintering Process (CSP), to density ceramics and ceramic-polymer composites at extraordinarily low temperatures. In this work, the microstructures and semiconducting properties of V205 ceramic and (1-x)V205-xPEDOT:PSS composites cold sintered at 120(o)C were investigated. The electrical conductivity (25 C-o), activation energy (25 C-o), and Seebeck coefficient (50(o)C) of V205 are 4.8 x 10-4S/cm, 0.25 eV, and -990 V/IC, respectively. The conduction mechanism was studied using a hopping model. A reversible metal -insulator transition (MIT) was observed with V205 samples exposed to a N2 atmosphere, whereas in a vacuum atmosphere, no obvious MIT could be detected. With the addition of 1-2 Vol% PEDOT:PSS, the electrical conductivity (50 C-o) dramatically increases from 10-4 to 10-3 -10-2S/cm, and the Seebeck coefficient (50(o)C) shifts from -990 to -(600250).tV/K. All the results indicate that CSP may offer a new processing route for the semiconductor electroceramic development without a compromise to the all-important electrical properties.(C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
