It has a stacked two-dimensional (2D) layered crystal structure, and exhibits the anisotropic thermo-electric properties [4]. In this work, we investigated the correlations between spark plasma sintering (SPS) conditions and the thermoelectric properties of Sb-doped Bi2Te3 samples. Af-ter sintered using SPS, the Sb-doped Bi2Te3 samples showed distinctive density, microstruc-ture, and crystalline preferential orientation as the sintering conditions (temperature, pres-sure, and ramping rates) changed. Accordingly, different thermoelectric properties were also observed by these samples. An optimized sintering condition was found and an in-plane fig-ure of merit ZT up to 1.3 at 298 K was achieved. Such high ZT was supported by the excellent in-plane electrical transport properties, which was mainly resulted from a high degree of c-plane orientation. A high in-plane power factor of 4.79 ×10-3 W m-1 K-2 was shown compared with the out-of-plane value of only 2.76 ×10-3 W m-1 K-2. On the other hand, the micron-scaled grains along the in-plane directions were resulted from SPS sintering; these grains are very effective to scatter acoustic phonons while giving minor harm to electrical transport. This work gives an insight for manipulating the spark plasma sintering conditions and aniso-tropic thermoelectric properties of Sb-doped Bi2Te3.   References: [1] H. J. Goldsmid, R. W.
