Among the existing materials for heat conversion, high-entropy alloys are of great interest due to the tunability of their functional properties. Here, we aim to produce single-phase high-entropy oxides composed of Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni-O through spark plasma sintering (SPS), testing their thermoelectric (TE) properties. This material was successfully obtained before via a different technique, which requires a very long processing time. Hence, the main target of this work is to apply spark plasma sintering, a much faster and scalable process. The samples were sintered in the temperature range of 1200–1300 °C. Two main phases were formed: rock salt-structured Fmm and spinel-structured Fdm. Comparable transport properties were achieved via the new approach: the highest value of the Seebeck coefficient reached −112.6 μV/K at room temperature, compared to −150 μV/K reported before; electrical properties at high temperatures are close to the properties of the single-phase material (σ = 0.2148 S/cm, σ ≈ 0.2009 S/cm reported before). These results indicate that SPS can be successfully applied to produce highly efficient TE high-entropy alloys in a fast and scalable way. Further optimization is needed for the production of single-phase materials, which are expected to exhibit an even better TE functionality.
