Titanium oxide ceramics doped with niobium is synthesized in reduced atmosphere at 1200 ℃ by conventional solid-state reaction technique. From their crystal structures determined by the powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), the samples have multiple-phase with low Nb concentration, but they have single tetragonal rutile phase when Nb content is larger than 0.02. The electrical conductivities, the Seebeck coefficients and the thermal conductivities of the samples with single phase are measured at a temperature range between room temperature and 900 K. The electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient show non-metallic behaviors. According to the fitting, it is found that the samples show thermal-activation mechanism at low temperatures and small-polaron hopping conduction mechanism at high temperatures. Moreover, the analyses of XRD, electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient show that the concentration of oxygen vacancy decreases with Nb content increasing. Thermal conductivity decreases with temperature increasing, dominating by lattice thermal conductivity. In the measurement region, the figure of merit (ZT) reaches a highest value of 0.19 at 873 K in the Ti0.98Nb0.02O2- sample.
