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 .

Heusler Compound

The effects of V vacancy on the thermoelectric performance of the half-Heusler compound VCoSb have been investigated in this study. A certain amount of CoSb secondary phase is generated in the VCoSb matrix when the content of V vacancy is more than 0.1 at%. According to the results, a ZT value of 0.6, together with a power factor of 29 μW cm−1 K−2 at 873 K, were achieved for the nonstoichiometric sample V0.9CoSb. This proved that moderate V vacancy could improve the thermoelectric (TE) properties of VCoSb. The noticeable improvements are mainly owing to the incremental Seebeck coefficient, which may benefit from the optimized carrier concentration. However, too much V vacancy will result in more CoSb impurity and deteriorate the TE performances of VCoSb owing to the increased thermal conductivity.
