Abstract: BiTeI samples are synthesized, and their galvanomagnetic and thermoelectric properties are investigated when adding BiI$_3$, CuI, and overstoichiometric Bi. The Seebeck coefficient of BiTeI samples considerably increases with addition of CuI, while their heat conductivity decreases. The same properties are observed for the BiTeI samples with BiI$_3$. The presence of overstoichiometric Bi decreases the heat and electrical conductivities almost without affecting the thermopower.
