The resulting powders were cold-pressed and sintered in an evacuated-and- encapsulated ampoule for transport measurements. Single-phase CoSb3 could be produced for the reaction carried out at 448K for a short duration of 15min followed by evacuated-and-encapsulated sintering at 848K for 5h. In comparison with the sample sintered at 798K, the sample sintered at 848K exhibits lower resistivity and thermopower. Due to the sign crossover of the thermopower, the latter sample shows lower power factor for temperatures above 475K.
