Nano Al-doped ZnO (AZO) particles were added into n-type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 alloys by ball milling and hot pressing method. The power factor was improved by similar to 22% with addition of nano-AZO particles, accompanied with a similar to 40% decrease of lattice thermal conductivity, leading to peak ZT of similar to 0.85 at 323K for Bi2Te2.7Se0.3(AZO)(0.005) sample. The effects of the addition of AZO nanoparticles on the microstructure and thermoelectric transport properties are discussed.
