Abstract

Today, there is a huge need for highly efficient and sustainable energy resources to tackle environmental degradation and energy crisis. We have analyzed the electronic, mechanical and thermoelectric (TE) characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) BiSbTeX2 (X = S, Se and Te) and Janus BiSbTeXY (X/Y = S, Se and Te) monolayers by implementing first principles simulations. These monolayers' dynamic stability and thermal stability have been demonstrated through phonon dispersion spectra and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, respectively. The band structure of these monolayers can be tuned by applying uniaxial and biaxial strains. The investigated lattice thermal conductivity (κl) for these monolayers lies between 0.23 and 0.37 W m-1 K-1 at 300 K. For a more precise calculation of the scattering rate, we implemented electron-phonon coupling (EPC) and spin-orbit coupling effects to calculate the transport properties. For p(n)-type carriers, the power factor of these monolayers is predicted to be as high as 2.08 × 10-3 W m-1 K-2 and (0.47 × 10-3 W m-1 K-2) at 300 K. The higher thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of p-type carriers at 300 K is obtained because of their very low value of κl and high power factor. Our theoretical investigation predicts that these monolayers can be potential candidates for fabricating highly efficient thermoelectric power generators.

期刊介绍: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
