Thermoelectric materials enables direct conversion of thermal energy and electric energy and show great promise in cogeneration and electronic device cooling. Low-dimension and nanoscale materials are more likely to process high thermoelectric properties and have become the main research direction. Accuately characterize the thermoelectric properties of new developed materials is of great significance. This paper measured electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of several new developed micro/nano wires such as EuBiSe3 fiber, bromine-doped graphene fiber and single Sb2Se3 nanowire. The correspongding influencing machanisms on the thermoelectric properties are also explored. This work is expected to provide experimental evidence and theoretical guidance to the development of new micro/nanostructured thermoelectric materials.This paper used a comprehensive T-type method to measure the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient simultaneously of the same micro/nanoscale wire. Based on the comprehensive T-type method, a three-wire method was further developed to comprehensively measure electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of micro/nanoscale wires. The influence of contact thermal resistance is reduced and an R-type thermocouple wire was used to verify the measurement accuracy.The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of EuBiSe3 fiber have been measured at different temperature, and the influence of rare earth element has been revealed. The results show that the rare earth element Eu introduces point defects and increases the density of states near the Fermi level. Compared with Bi2Se3, the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of the EuBiSe3 fiber increase simultaneously and obtain a ZT value of 0.05 at 290 K. The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of bromine-doped graphene fiber have been measured at different temperature. The Study show that bromine doping reduces the Fermi level of graphene fiber and produces a large number of holes. The electrical transport properties of bromine-doped graphene fiber is increased. At the same time, the doping introduces a large amount of impurities and defects, which reduces the lattice thermal conductivity. Compared with the pure graphene fiber, the ZT value of the bromine-doped graphene fiber increases by four orders of magnitude to 0.00276. The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of single Sb2Se3 nanowire have been measured at different temperature while the Seebeck coefficient was measured at room temperature. The results show that the measured nanowire is n-type doped. The shallow donor levels near the conduction band edge improves the electrical conductivity of the material. The thermal conductivity of Sb2Se3 nanowire is mainly dominated by phonon-boundary scattering. At room temperature, the ZT value of Sb2Se3 nanowire reaches 0.064 with a Seebeck coefficient of ?1120 μV K-1. The measured Sb2Se3 nanowires do not exhibit excellent thermoelectric properties and the further improvement is expected to be realized by increasing dot defects and doping levels.
