The growing need for alternative power sources is driving a growing interestin developing a new generation of thermoelectric materials. For example, transition metals (T) of Group VIII (Co, Rh and Ir) have been prepared as semiconductor alloys with Sb having the general formula TSb. The skutterudite-type crystal lattice structure of these semiconductor alloys and their enhanced thermoelectric properties results in semiconductor materials which may be used in the fabrication of thermoelectric elements to substantially improve the efficiency of the resulting thermoelectric device. However, relatively little is known about the physical properties of the binary skutterudite compounds and electrochemical synthesis is not available in the literature. In this study, we report on the growth of IrSb deposited on ITO by a new electrochemical deposition method generated by our working group though a one-step process. In order to determine the morphological and structural characteristics, the deposited nanoflowers were examined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), Raman spectroscopy. SEM experiments show that the IrSb nanoflowers are present.
