Recently thermoelectric materials have attracted more attentions because of their direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage. Antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) is one of the materials which have large thermoelectric effect. We successfully compounded Sb2Te3 by using polyol synthesis....
