Effects of adding excess antimony during the polyol process for synthesizing CoSb3 compound have been studied in this project. It was found that with an initial atomic ratio Co:Sb = 1:4.5, the final sample after hot press contained a single CoSb3 phase. With higher initial Sb levels, extra free Sb p...
