Electroplating behavior of Bi2Te3 and thermoelectric properties of the electroplated Bi2Te3 films were investigated for nanowire application. Composition, microstructure, and thermoelectric properties of the electroplated Bi-Te films were strongly dependent upon composition of the electroplating solutions and plating current density. While the power factor of the Bi2Te3 film plated at a current density of 1 x 10(-4) A/cm(2) was 1.75 x 10(-4) W/K-2-m, the film formed at 5 x 10(-4) A/cm(2) exhibited the value of 3.5 x 10(-4) W/K-2-m. Substantial pore filling was achieved with electrodeposition of Bi2Te3 for the alumina template with 200 nm pores.
