Polycrystalline samples of Bi2Te3 based alloys were prepared by powder metallurgy processing including a melting-grinding and a sintering procedure of compacted pellets. Two sintering procedures as hot-pressing and spark plasma sintering (SPS) were employed. The thermoelectric properties and mechanical strength were measured in all case. Thermoelectric properties for p-type (Bi0.25Sb0.75)2Te3 and n-type Bi2(Te0.2Se0.8)3 changed with sintering temperature in both sintering methods. Mechanical strength and relative density increase with sintering temperature in two sintering procedures. The results firmly suggest that both sintering procedures are promising to obtain high performance thermoelectric materials.

P-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 compounds doped with 3wt% Te were fabricated by spark plasma sintering and their mechanical and thermoelectric properties were investigated. The sintered compounds with the bending strength of more than 50MPa and the figure-of-merit 2.9×10-3/K were obtained by controlling the mixing ratio of large powders (PL) and small powders (PS). Compared with the conventionally prepared single crystal thermoelectric materials, the bending strength was increased up to more than three times and the figure-of-merit Z was similar those of single crystals. It is expected that the mechanical properties could be improved by using hybrid powders without degradation of thermoelectric properties.

P-type BiSbTe/RuO2 composite was fabricated using a combined process of melting and spark plasma sintering. The XRD patterns showed that RuO2 reacted with the matrix for the RuO2 content of 1.0 wt% and 4.0 wt% samples. The measured thermoelectric properties showed that the highest electrical conductivity was obtained for the sample with 2.0 wt% RuO2. The power factor (α2σ/κ) decreased with the increase of RuO2 below 450 K. The lattice thermal conductivity was lower than that of BiSbTe over the whole temperature range for BiSbTe/2.0 wt% RuO2.

Bismuth antimony telluride is the most commonly used commercial thermoelectric material for power generation and refrigeration over the temperature range of 200–400 K. Improving the performance of these materials is a complected balance of optimizing thermoelectric properties. Decreasing the grain size of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 significantly reduces the thermal conductivity due to the scattering phonons on the grain boundaries. In this work, it is shown the advances of spark plasma sintering (SPS) for the preparation of nanocrystalline p-type thermoelectrics based on Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 at different temperatures (240, 350, 400oC). The complex study of structural and thermoelectric properties of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 were presented. The high dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT ~ 1 or some more over 300–400 K temperature range for nanocrystalline p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 was obtained.
