Abstract Bi₂Te₃-based materials are currently recognized as the best near room temperature thermoelectric materials due to their special crystal structure and band structure, low thermal conductivity, high seebeck coefficient, and carrier mobility. They have been widely used in the field of thermoelectric refrigeration. However, while as a core component of thermoelectric devices, the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit zT of Bi₂Te₃-based materials is still relatively low, resulting in lower conversion efficiency of the devices. Therefore, further improving the zT value of Bi₂Te₃-based materials is still crucial. This article mainly reviews the main research progress in recent years on optimizing the electrical and thermal transport properties of Bi₂Te₃-based materials through some strategies such as carrier engineering, band engineering, nano-engineering. These strategies can synergistically regulate the electrical and thermal transport performance, significantly improve the zT value of Bi₂Te₃-based materials, which can provide new research ideas for the development of efficient thermoelectric materials.

Key words： Bi₂Te₃-based thermoelectric material electrical performance thermal performance optimization strategy
