Abstract

Bismuth telluride, Bi2Te3, state-of-the-art material, is a well-established and effective thermoelectric material from V–VI group of materials. The Peltier effect (thermal cooling) has been observed in p-Bi2Te3 coupled with n-type samples and has been commercialized since the early 1960s. Tremendous amount of research has been reported on these materials from single crystal form to polycrystalline form and from 3D to nanodimensions to quantum confinement.
