Using Bi2Te3nanopowders prepared from ball milling of elemental Bi and Te, nanocrystalline Bi2Te3bulks were fabricated with high pressure sintering technique under variable pressures. The structural and thermoelectric properties were characterized, revealing a strong correlation with the sintering pressure. The nanocrystalline Bi2Te3bulk fabricated under 2GPa exhibits good thermoelectric properties with ZT over 0.8 from 300 to 460K and a peak ZT of 1.03 occurring at 403K, which can be attributed to the small thermal conductivity from enhanced phonon scattering by grain boundaries and defects, as well as to the good electrical property comparable to that of the zone melting material.
