We report the first results of a study on electrochemically doped copper bismuth tellurium selenide thin films electrodeposited from aqueous nitric acid electrolytes containing up to 2 mM of Cu(NO3)2. The effect of Cu(NO3)2 concentration on the composition, structure and thermoelectric properties of...

| Abstract: |
We report the first results of a study on electrochemically doped copper bismuth tellurium selenide thin films electrodeposited from aqueous nitric acid electrolytes containing up to 2 mM of Cu(NO3)2. The effect of Cu(NO3)2 concentration on the composition, structure and thermoelectric properties of the bismuth tellurium selenide films is investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Seebeck and Hall effect measurements. A Cu(NO3)2 concentration of 1.5 mM is found to offer a Seebeck coefficient of up to −390 μV K−1 at room temperature, which is the highest reported to date for an electrodeposited bismuth tellurium compound. |
