High effective and sufficiently firm materials on the basis of the Bi85Sb15 solid solution doped by Pb impurites have been obtained and investigated. It is shown, that with growth of a doping degree values of thermoelectrical figure of merit (Z) at first grows up to 0.005 at % Pb of and at this concentration reaches value equal approx. 5.0·10-3 K-1 at approx. 200K, and then decreases. In a magnetic field the greatest values of Z for the samples of p-type has one doped by 0,05 at. of % Pb, and Z reaches value approx. 0.84·10-3 K-1 at approx. 80K.
