    We have introduced an innovative method for preparing CuI-doped Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> films for the first time, which was also validated through ab initio calculations. The chemical reaction between the Cu-Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> film and iodine was conducted using the solid iodination method at room temperature. The results from X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectrometry suggest that the sputtering process, followed by the solid iodination method, holds promise for synthesizing CuI-doped Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> films. Additionally, appropriately doping Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> with CuI enhances the (00l) crystal orientation, increases carrier concentration and mobility, resulting in improved electrical conductivity. Furthermore, our calculation results align with our experimental findings. An excess of substitutional CuI dopant tends to generate secondary phases, leading to alterations in the intrinsic conductivity and a reduction in the thermoelectric properties of Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>. Leveraging the enhanced electrical transport properties achieved through CuI doping, the maximum power factor of the (CuI)<inf>0.2</inf>Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>2.9</inf> film reaches approximately 2.40 × 10<sup>−3</sup> W/mK<sup>2</sup> at 423 K, representing a 66 % enhancement compared to that of the Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>2.9</inf> film, which has a power factor of 1.44 × 10<sup>−3</sup> W/mK<sup>2</sup>.
