Strategic control of excess tellurium to achieve high figure-of-merit in Te-rich Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 by Ranu Bhatt, Rishikesh Kumar, Pramod Bhatt, Pankaj Patro, Shovit Bhattacharya, Mani Navaneethan, Soumen Samanta, Ajay Singh

“…Herein, we report the success of a saturation-annealing treatment in a vacuum, followed by air-quenching as a promising approach for synthesizing high figure-of-merit (zT) Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3+xTe (x = 0, 2, 5 and 10 wt%) materials. A remarkably high-power factor (α 2 σ ~ 6 mW at 300 K) is achieved in p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 + 5 wt% Te composition due to high carrier concentration (n) and good carrier mobility (µ). …”
