Temparature dependence of Seebeck coefficients S, electrical conductivity, heat conductivity k and dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of p-Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3}, Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} and n-Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3}-doped by Fe or Cr were carried out in the temperature interval 7150 K. - Graphical abstract: Temparature dependence of Seebeck coefficients S, electrical conductivity {sigma}, heat conductivity k and dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of p-Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3}, Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} and n-Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} doped by Fe or Cr were measured in the temperature interval 7150 K up to ZT=0.4 as shown in figure. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Fe and Cr act as donors in Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3}, Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} and Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3.} Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The Seebeck coefficient increases in p-Bi{sub 2-x}Fe{sub x}Te{sub 3} and Sb{sub 2-x}Cr{sub x}Te{sub 3}. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Dimensionless figure of merit ZT increased up to 0.4 in Cr-doped Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} at T=300 K.
