Well‐oriented crystals of n ‐type bulk Bi 2 S 3 and Bi 2 S 3‐x Se x doped with BiCl 3 show excellent anisotropic thermoelectric properties. BiCl 3 doping in Bi 2 S 3 leads to significant increase in the electrical conductivity, which results to a promising thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT , of ≈0.6 at 760 K.
