The Seebeck coefficients, electrical resistivities, and total thermal conductivities are reported for temperatures between 10 and 300K for p-type Bi–Sb alloys made by Sn-doping at the 5% level or below. Alloys are investigated for Sb contents at both extremes of the semiconducting region of the Bi–Sb alloy solid solution, 7–10% Sb and 18–20% Sb. The behavior of all the alloys is relatively similar, and the best p-type material found, Bi0.885Sb0.075Sn0.04, has a maximum thermoelectric figure of merit of ZT=0.08 at 200K. The thermoelectric efficiency of the optimal n–p couple in this alloy system peaks at ZT=0.13 at a temperature of 200K.
