Abstract
We report on the cathodic synthesis of bismuth telluride. X-ray diffraction results proved successful preparation, while elementary analysis indicated a tellurium rich compound. Cyclic voltammetric measurements outlined the kinetic pattern. The organic thermoelectric materials (thiophene-type conducting polymers) were characterized by in situ spectral and conductance techniques.
