Abstract: 
Polymer films of polyethyleneoxide (PEO) or poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) containing a single-source precursor for either PbSe or PbTe were used to produce films of nanoparticles of these thermoelectric materials. The monomeric homoleptic chalcogenolates lead(II) bis-(2,4,6-trifluoromethylphenylselenolate) Pb[SeC6H2(CF3)(3)](2) and lead(II) bis-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl-tellurolate] Pb[TeSi(SiMe3)(3)](2) were used as single-source precursors for the thermolytic formation of the lead chalcogenides. The thickness and the quality of as-obtained thin films depended decisively on the spin-coating conditions, on the polymer, on the precursor concentration in the composite film before thermolysis and on the annealing time. Thin layers of particles of 30-50 nm size and high crystallinity were obtained. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and electron microscopy.
