This article provides an assessment of the maximum values of the most important thermoelectricparameters of materials - the Seebeck coefficient and the figure of merit. Based on the formulas known from the literature that interconnect the thermoelectric parameters (effective mass and mobility of charge carriers, the Seebeck coefficient, temperature), the function of the specified coefficient is obtained. To estimate the maximum of the Seebeck coefficient and the figure of merit, it is sufficient to study this function for an extremum by differentiating it be used. The data we obtained can be used to analyze the experimental data of those works in which, for certain reasons, the extremums of the specified thermoelectric parameters are not given.
