The　powders　as　well　as　the　texture　modulated　Ca2.8BaxPryCo4O9+delta　(x,　y　=　0,　0.05,　0.1,　0.15　and　0.2)　bulk　materials　are　prepared　via　solid　state　reaction,　sol-gel　and　spark　plasma　sintering　method.　The　powder　and　bulk　materials　are　analyzed　with　regard　to　their　phase　composition　and　microscopic　character　by　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　and　scanning　electron　microscope　(SEM).　The　thermoelectric　transport　properties　of　the　bulk　materials　are　measured　and　investigated.　The　results　show　that　the　plate-like　powders　with　uniform　particle　size　tend　to　align　regularly　rather　than　the　powders　with　anomaly　shape　and　particle　size　distribution　by　spark　plasma　sintering　method.　The　bulk　materials　co-doped　by　elements　with　lower　electronegativity　tend　to　form　better　texture　rather　than　that　of　the　bulk　materials　co-doped　by　elements　with　higher　electronegativity　via　spark　plasma　sintering　method.　The　resistivities　and　Seebeck　coefficients　are　in　negative　accordance　to　the　bulk　material　texture　as　a　whole,　and　the　carrier　transport　mechanism　is　not　influenced.　The　electrical　performance　is　tuned　with　optimized　power　factor　462　mu　Wm(-1)　K-2　at　973　K　for　Ca2.8BaxPryCo4O9+delta　(x　=　y　=　0.1)　bulk　materials.　(C)　2016　The　Authors.　Published　by　Elsevier　B.V.
