Of these bismuth telluride is the most commonly used.
2.
A commonly used thermoelectric material in such applications is bismuth telluride ( ).
3.
Common thermoelectric materials used as semi-conductors include bismuth telluride, lead telluride, silicon germanium, and bismuth-antimony alloys.
4.
Cadmium telluride does however have photovoltaic properties, and both bismuth telluride and lead telluride are exceptional thermoelectric materials, although not commercialized.
5.
Like bismuth telluride, Bi 2 Te 3, antimony telluride has a large thermoelectric effect and is therefore used in solid state refrigerators.
6.
The company uses nanotechnology and materials science applications to create thermoelectric generators that are more cost effective than previous bismuth telluride-based devices.
7.
The 1960s brought an increase in thermoelectric applications for tellurium ( as bismuth telluride ), and in free-machining steel alloys, which became the dominant use.
8.
Bismuth telluride and its solid solutions are good thermoelectric materials at room temperature and therefore suitable for refrigeration applications around 300 K . The Czochralski method has been used to grow single crystalline bismuth telluride compounds.

10.
For many years, the main three semiconductors known to have both low thermal conductivity and high power factor were bismuth telluride ( Bi 2 Te 3 ), lead telluride ( PbTe ), and silicon germanium ( SiGe ).
