Gadolinium filled CoSb3, which is inaccessible at ambient pressure with the traditional solid state reaction, was successfully synthesized by using a high pressure synthesis method within several hours. The synthetic GdyCo4Sb12samples possess Im3¯ symmetry of skutterudite structure. The thermoelectric properties investigation revealed the enhancement of the power factor and decrease of lattice thermal conductivity after Gadolinium filling. The highest ZT of 0.52 was achieved for Gd0.12Co4Sb12sample at 600K. High pressure synthesis can effectively broaden elemental species fillable to CoSb3voids and substantially shorten the reaction duration, thus provide us an alternative pathway for thermoelectric materials fabrication.
