The thermoelectric properties of PbTe nanoparticles were studied from ambient pressure to 0.8 GPa by using self-built set-up. The electrical conductivity increased while Seebeck coefficient decreased with loading pressure and these properties can be recovered after pressure released. Moreover, Seebeck coefficient is extremely high, up to 565 μV/K at ambient pressure. At 0.8 GPa, the electrical conductivity enhances four times, the power factor adds three times and Seebeck coefficient is only reduced by 20% comparing with those at ambient pressure. These results indicate that high pressure can improve the thermoelectric properties of PbTe nanoparticle. The contracted Femi-energy is also calculated based on the First Principle under high pressure from 0.4 to 4.0 GPa. The calculated values agree well with experimental data.
