The electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power, and thermal conductivity of Ln0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ (Ln = La and Nd) were measured as functions of temperature and oxygen partial pressure, and the electrical transport parameters were calculated using the defect model. It was found that the values of hole mobility, the equilibrium constant of the annihilation reaction for the oxide ion vacancy, thermal conductivity of La0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ are larger than the values of Nd0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ, while the thermoelectric power of La0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ is smaller than those of Nd0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ at the same hole concentration and temperature. Based on the X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, it is suggested that the thermoelectric properties of La0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ and Nd0.9Sr0.1FeO3−δ are affected by the covalency of iron ions.
