We report the synthesis of Nd-filled and Fe substituted p-type NdxFe3.2Co0.8Sb12 (x = 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9) skutterudites by the solid-state reaction method. The influences of Nd filler on the electrical and thermal transport properties are investigated in a temperature range from room temperature to 850 K. A lowest lattice thermal conductivity of 0.88 W · m − 1 · K − 1 is obtained in Nd0.8Fe3.2Co0.8Sb12 at 673 K, which results from the localized vibration modes of fillers and the increase of grains boundaries. Meanwhile, the maximum power factor is 2.77 mW · m − 1 · K − 2 for the Nd0.9Fe3.2Co0.8Sb12 sample at 668 K. Overall, the highest dimensionless figure of merit zT = 0.87 is achieved at 714 K for Nd0.9Fe3.2Co0.8Sb12.
