Abstract

Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) is the currently best performing thermoelectric (TE) material in commercial TE devices for refrigeration and waste heat recovery up to 200 °C. Up to 800 μm thick, compact, uniform and stoichiometric Bi2Te3 films were synthesized by pulsed electrodeposition from 2 M nitric...
