Single-phase Zn4Sb3 was successfully produced by sintering of cold die-pressed compacts using mixed elemental powders, and subsequent hot pressing produced single-phase, bulk specimens without microcracks. Phase transformations in this alloy system during synthesis were investigated using DSC, XRD and SEM. Thermoelectric properties as a function of temperature were investigated from room temperature to 600K and compared with results of other studies. Transport properties at room temperature were evaluated. Thermoelectric properties of single phase Zn4Sb3 materials produced by the sintering of cold die-pressed compacts and hot pressing are comparable to the published data for alternate processing routes. Synthesis by sintering of cold die-pressed compacts and hot pressing offers a potential processing route to produce bulk Zn4Sb3.
