Using solid-state reactions method the ceramic samples of Na 0.89 Co 0.9 M 0.1 O 2 (M = Sc, Ti, Cr-Zn, Mo, W, Pb, Bi) solid solutions had been prepared, their lattice constants had been determined and their microstructure, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and thermo-EMF had been measured, and their power factor and figure-of-merit values had been calculated. Effect of the cobalt substitution by other metals in the Na 0.89 CoO 2 on the crystal structure and physicochemical and functional properties of its derivatives was analyzed. It was found that Na 0.89 Co 0.9 M 0.1 O 2 cobaltates are the p-type conductors, which linear thermal expansion coefficient (LTEC) values varied within (1.24-2.05)•10-5 K-1. It was found that the best thermoelectric properties among the oxides studied possessed Na 0.89 Co 0.9 Ni 0.1 O 2 and Na 0.89 Co 0.9 Bi 0.1 O 2 solid solutions which power factor and figure-of-merit estimated values at 1100 K are equal to 0.919 and 0.660 mW/(m•K) and 1.12 and 0.83 respectively.
