The paper presents an analysis of information on the research and use of materials on the basis of Bi2Те3, as a thermoelectric material. It was established that Bi2Те3, as a thermoelectric material, was first investigated in 1905, and was practically applied in thermoelectric devices in the 1950s. The main tendencies of the current state of thermoelectric material science are determined.
