Melt-spun ribbons composed of ZnxSb3(3.4 ≤x≤ 4.3) were fabricated through a single-wheel melt-spinning process at wheel velocities of 0.6 m s−1to 4.2 m s−1and annealed for 2 h at 673 K. The structures were investigated using x-ray diffraction. The dimensionless figure of meritZT, Seebeck coefficient, and electrical conductivity were measured to estimate the power factor and thermal conductivity.β-Zn4Sb3in the as-spun ribbons coexisted with ZnSb or Zn at 0.6 m s−1, while it coexisted with ζ-Zn3Sb2inx≥ 3.8 at 4.2 m s−1, where ζ-Zn3Sb2disappeared in the annealed ribbons. The Seebeck coefficient in the as-spun and annealed ribbons tended to decrease slightly with increasingxat all the wheel velocities. At 0.6 m s−1, theZTand power factor of as-spun and annealed ribbons increased with increasingxatx< 4.0 because of increase in the electrical conductivity. At 4.2 m s−1,ZTwas smaller than that at 0.6 m s−1because the electrical conductivity was small in the as-spun ribbons and the thermal conductivity was large in the annealed ribbons.
