In this work, we use first principles DFT calculations, anharmonic phonon scatter theory and Boltzmann transport method, to predict a comprehensive study on the thermoelectric properties as electronic and phonon transport of layered LaSe2 crystal. The flat-and-dispersive type band structure of LaSe2 crystal offers a high power factor. In the other hand, low lattice thermal conductivity is revealed in LaSe2 semiconductor, combined with its high power factor, the LaSe2 crystal is considered a promising thermoelectric material. It is demonstrated that p-type LaSe2 could be optimized to exhibit outstanding thermoelectric performance with a maximum ZT value of 1.41 at 1100K. Explored by density functional theory calculations, the high ZT value is due to its high Seebeck coefficient S, high electrical conductivity, and low lattice thermal conductivity .

Abstract We report the thermal conductivity (κ) of perovskite Sr1−x(La0.5Na0.5)xTiO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and the thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped samples for x = 0.1 and 0.2. The κ of the solid solution shows a distinct minimum near the cubic-tetragonal phase boundary at x = 0.2, where the value becomes close to the minimum theoretical κ. Nb doping to x = 0.2 retains the high power factor found in Nb-doped SrTiO3, but also raises the κ to result in a thermoelectric figure of merit of 0.24 at 773 K.
