TiO
2 - based compacts were fabricated by Spark Plasma sintering using starting powder mixtures of TiO
2 and TiN. Here, the TiN mol fraction,
m mol%, was varied as
m = 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 20. The phases of the compacts were found to be a rutile phase for
m = 0 and 1, whereas those to be a defective phase, TiO
1.93, for
m = 3, and Magneli phases, Ti
nO
2n−1 (
n = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), for
m = 5 through 20. The electrical conductivity,
σ, reached the maximum value of 6.6 × 10
4 Sm
−1 at 50 °C for the compact with
m = 12. The Seebeck coefficient were found to be negative for all the compacts, and the maximum of the absolute value was recorded to be 760
µVK
−1 at 50 °C for
m = 0. The minimum value of thermal conductivity,
κ, was found to be 2.2 Wm
−1K
−1 at 50 °C for
m = 5 and 8. The dimensionless figure of merit,
ZT, was found to increase with temperature, reaching the maximum of 0.24 at 800 °C for
m = 10.
