Abstract

The synthesis, physicochemical, spectroscopic, and structural characterization of the compound β-K₂Bi₈Se₁₃ has been previously reported. The results indicated that this material should be investigated further for possible thermoelectric applications. β-K₂Bi₈Se₁₃ exhibits excellent electrical conductivity values at room temperature while maintaining high Seebeck coefficients. In this work, the optimization of the compound β-K₂Bi₈Se₁₃ is continued by the introduction of varying concentrations of several different dopants. The value of x in K₂Bi_8-x Sb_xSe₁₃ was varied in order to find the composition with minimum thermal conductivity. Where possible, transport measurements were carried out on both single crystal and polycrystalline ingot material. From these data, the trends in the key parameters were identified for optimizing the power factor and figure of merit.
