Titanium disulfide (TiS2) powder was prepared by sulfurizing TiO2powder with CS2gas at 1073K for 4h. Because CS2gas is a powerful sulfurizing agent for TiO2, CS2sulfurization can be performed at a low temperature. The TiS2powder thus prepared was first mixed with sulfur powder in a mass ratio of 1:0.04 and pressure sintered at 973K for 1h under a uniaxial pressure of 50MPa in vacuum. The addition of a small amount of sulfur powder to the TiS2powder prevents sulfur deficiency in the sintered compact, resulting in the formation of a near-stoichiometric Ti1.008S2composition. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the crystalline ab-axis is preferentially oriented perpendicular to the pressing direction. The Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of the oriented TiS2sintered compacts with near-stoichiometric and sulfur-poor (titanium-rich) compositions were measured in the temperature range 300–723K. The thermoelectric figure of merit ZT was enhanced by prevention of sulfur deficiency and formation of the oriented texture. The highest ZT of 0.34 was observed at 663K in Ti1.008S2for the direction perpendicular to the pressing axis.
