Bi1.4Sb0.6Te3
semiconductorBi1.4Sb0.6Te3 is a bismuth-antimony-telluride compound semiconductor belonging to the thermoelectric material family, engineered through doping and composition tuning to optimize the figure of merit (ZT) for thermal energy conversion. This p-type composition is widely studied and commercially deployed in thermoelectric cooling modules and waste heat recovery systems, where it outperforms simpler binary tellurides by offering improved electrical conductivity and thermal properties at moderate temperatures (200–400 K). Engineers select this alloy composition when conventional refrigeration is impractical, when compact solid-state cooling is required, or when recovering waste heat from industrial processes and power generation systems.
