Doping is known as an effective way to modify both electrical and thermal transport properties of thermoelectric alloys to enhance their energy conversion efficiency. In this project, we report the effect of Pd doping on the electrical and thermal properties of <i>n</i>-type Cu<sub>0.008</sub>Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>2.7</sub>Se<sub>0.3</sub> alloys. Pd doping was found to increase the electrical conductivity along with the electron carrier concentration. As a result, the effective mass and power fa ...[more]
