In this work, we investigate the effects of Ni doping on the thermoelectric (TE) properties of Yb0.25Co4Sb12 sample. Yb0.25Co4-xNixSb12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) samples were prepared by mechanical alloying and subsequently consolidated by spark plasma sintering. The morphology of consolidated samples were char...
