Abstract

The use of surface active liquids facilitates intense stratification of mechanically strained Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 crystallites. A Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 heat element with specified thickness and structure is formed by layer-by-layer deposition of “thermoelectric ink” on its free surface. A heat treatment of the formed thermoelectric element in argon at a temperature of 800 K makes it possible to minimize radically the resistance of the grain boundaries introduced into its bulk.
