Abstract
In the present review the focus is set on filled antimony-based skutterudites as they are among the most promising TE materials. Thermoelectric properties (at 300 K and 800 K) of more than 1200 compositions from more than 250 publications from 1996 to 2022 were collected and evaluated. In various figures the dependence of the peak ZT for single-filled, double-filled and multi-filled compounds of p- and n-type skutterudites on the publishing year, the peak temperature, electrical resistivity, thermal and lattice thermal conductivity, the power factor and the fillers are displayed. Together with plots of electrical resistivity versus Seebeck coefficient and especially thermal conductivity versus power factor these evaluations etc. may help to find the ideal skutterudite material for practical applications.
