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.

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.

Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with the Boltzmann transport theory, we investigate the effect of strain on the electronic and thermoelectric transport properties of the 1T-TiSe2 monolayer, a two-dimensional (2D) material, and compare it with the bulk phase within the PBE, LDA+U and HSE exchange–correlation functionals.
