Bi-Te thermoelectric powder was fabricated by mechanical alloying method for 1 to 10 hours under vacuum in planetary mill. We investigated the properties of mechanically alloyed Bi-Te powder by thermal analysis, X-ray diffractometer and FESEM with EDS Bi-Te raw material was formed to $Bi_2Te_3$ phase at condition over 3.5 hours of mechanical alloying time.

Carbon nanotube-dispersed bismuth telluride matrix (CNT/$Bi_2Te_3$) nanopowders were synthesized by chemical routes followed by a ball-milling process. The microstructures of the synthesized CNT/$Bi_2Te_3$ nanopowders showed the characteristic microstructure of CNTs dispersed among disc-shaped $Bi_2Te_3$ nanopowders with as an average size of 500 nm in-plane and a few tens of nm in thickness. The prepared nanopowders were sintered into composites with a homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in a $Bi_2Te_3$ matrix. The dimensionless figure-of-merit of the composite showed an enhanced value compared to that of pure $Bi_2Te_3$ at the room temperature due to the reduced thermal conductivity and increased electrical conductivity with the addition of CNTs.

The microtstructures and properties of alloys in the pseudo-binary $Bi_2Te_3-PbTe$ system were investigated as a first step towards the design of nanostructured materials with enhanced thermoelectric properties. The liquid alloys were cooled by water quenching method. Dendritic and lamellar structures were observed clearly by using environmental scanning electron microscope(eSEM) and electron probe micro analyzer(EPMA) take into account composition ratio between $Bi_2Te_3$ and PbTe. The compound $Pb_2Bi_6Te_{11}$ precipitated as a metastable phase under all conditions. The structure of those samples changed from dendritic to lamellar by increasing $Bi_2Te_3$ ratio of composition.

Thermoelectric (TE) technology is becoming increasingly important in applications of solid-state cooling and renewable energy sources. $Bi_2Te_3$-based TE materials are widely used in small-scale cooling and temperature control applications; however, higher levels of TE performance are required for new applications such as large-scale cooling (e.g., domestic refrigerators or air conditioners) and for highly efficient power generation system. Recently, the TE performance of $Bi_2Te_3$-based materials has been remarkably enhanced by the introduction of nanostructuring technologies which can be used to prepare TE raw materials. Because it takes into account the theoretical and experimental characteristics, nanostructuring has been shown to be one of the most promising ways to realize the simultaneous control of the electronic and thermal transport properties. In this review, emphasis is placed on bulk-type nanostructured $Bi_2Te_3$-based TE materials. Nanostructuring technologies for enhanced TE performance are summarized, and a few important strategies are presented.

A new process using rapid solidification (melt spinning method) followed by pressing and sintering was investigated to produce the n-type thermoelectric ribbons of 90% $Bi_2Te_3$+10% $Bi_2Se_3$ doped with $CdCl_2$. Quenched ribbons are very brittle and consisted of homogeneous $Bi_2Te_3-Bi_2Se_3$ pseudo-binary solid solutions. Property variations of the materials was investigated as a function of variables, such as dopant $CdCl_2$ quantity and sintering temperature. When the process parameters were optimized, the maximum figure of merit was $2.146{\times}10^{-3}K^{-1}$.

Bi-Te계 화합물은 상온영역($250^{\circ}C$이하)에서 열전특성이 우수하여, 냉각용 및 발전용 열전소자 재료로 사용되고 있다. 앞선 연구에서 MA법에 의한 La이 치환된 Bi-Te 진공가압 소결체의 열전특성이 $Bi_2Te_3$와 비교하여 향상된 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 Bi와 Te을 각각 0.01wt%, 0.02wt% La으로 미량 치환하여 melting법으로 제조한 분말을 $420^{\circ}C$, 200MPa로 가압 소결하였다. 가압 소결체의 열전특성은 Seebeck계수, 전기전도도. 열전도도를 측정하여 성능지수를 계산하였고 Bi-Te, (Bi-La)-Te, Bi-(Te-La)의 열전특성을 비교 분석하였다.
