TLDR
In this paper, the effect of Tl2Te3 on the transport properties of antimony and bismuth tellurides was studied and it was found that the addition of tl 2Te3 caused a lessening of the increase of hole concentration as low temperatures were approached, resulting in a slower decrease of the Seebeck coefficient.
Abstract
The effect on transport properties of the addition of 0.5-5% Tl2Te3 to p-type solid solutions of antimony and bismuth tellurides was studied. It was found that the addition of Tl2Te3 caused a lessening of the increase of hole concentration as low temperatures were approached, resulting in a slower decrease of the Seebeck coefficient with a decrease in temperature.

Some electrical transport studies on compounds of the Tl-Te system

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical properties of Tl-Te compounds are discussed on the basis of the general valence rule, and it has been found that both TlTe and γ-phase samples exhibit a metallic behaviour in contrast to Tl2Te3, which has semiconducting properties.
