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.

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.

AbstractThermoelectricity in oxides, especially NaxCoO2 and related materials, is discussed from the point of view of first principles calculations and Boltzmann transport theory. The electronic structure of this material is exceptional in that it has a combination of very narrow bands and strong hybridization between metal d states and ligand p states. As shown within the framework of conventional Boltzmann transport theory, this leads to high Seebeck coefficients even at metallic carrier densities. This suggests a strategy of searching for other narrow band oxides that can be doped metallic with mobile carriers. Some possible avenues for finding such materials are suggested.
