Constant Relaxation Time

The energy band structure obtained from WIEN2k calculations is used to calculate the transport coefficients via the semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory with constant relaxation time (t) as employed in the BoltzTraP package for ALiF3(A= Ca, Sr and Ba) using mBJ-GGA potential. The thermoelectric properties of the above compounds are investigated through the calculation of the main transport properties: Seebeck coefficient (S), electrical (s) and electronic thermal (ke) conductivity, figure of merit (ZT) and power factor. All compounds show insulating behavior.

Thermoelectric Application

We have investigated the thermoelectric properties of MoO3 monolayer and its defective structures with oxygen vacancies by using first-principles method combined with Boltzmann transport theory. Our results show that the thermoelectric properties of MoO3 monolayer exhibit an anisotropic behavior which is caused by the similar anisotropic phenomenon of electronic conductivity and thermal conductivity. Moreover, the creation of oxygen vacancies proves to be an effective way to enhance the ZT values of MoO3 monolayer which is caused by the sharp peak near the Fermi level in density of states. The increased ZT value can reach 0.84 along x-axis at 300K.

Boltzmann Transport Theory

We have investigated the thermoelectric properties of a pristine MoO3 monolayer and its defective structures with different oxygen vacancies using first-principles methods combined with Boltzmann transport theory. Our results show that the thermoelectric properties of the MoO3 monolayer exhibit an evident anisotropic behavior which is caused by the similar anisotropy of the electrical and thermal conductivity. The thermoelectric materials figure of merit (ZT) value along the x- and the y-axis is 0.72 and 0.08 at 300 K, respectively. Moreover, the creation of oxygen vacancies leads to a sharp peak near the Fermi level in the density of states. This proves to be an effective way to enhance the ZT values of the MoO3 monolayer. The increased ZT values can reach 0.84 (x-axis) and 0.12 (y-axis) at 300 K.

The doping and temperature dependent thermopower of SnTe is calculated from the first principles band structure using Boltzmann transport theory. We find that the p-type thermopower is inferior to PbTe consistent with experimental observations, but that the n-type thermopower is substantially more favorable.

We studied the crystal and electronic structures of LaOBiSSe and LaOBiSeS using first-principles calculations and confirmed that the LaOBiSSe (S atoms on the top of BiCh2 layer and Se atoms in the inner of it) is the stable structure. Then we calculate the thermoelectric properties of LaOBiSSe using the standard Boltzmann transport theory. The in-plane thermoelectric performance are better than that along the c-axis in this n-type material. The in-plane power factor [Formula: see text] of n-type LaOBiSSe is as high as 12 [Formula: see text]W/cmK2 at 900 K with figure of merit ZT = 0.53 and [Formula: see text]. The ZT maximum appears around [Formula: see text] in a wide temperature region. The results indicate that LaOBiSSe is a 2D material with good thermal performance in n-type doping.
