利用密度泛函理论结合玻尔兹曼输运方程, 预测了二维层状热电材料XTe2 (X = Pd, Pt)的热电性质. 两种材料都具有较低的热导率, 材料的晶格热导率随温度的升高而降低, 且表现出各向异性. 而电子热导率随温度的升高而升高. 在较低温时, 晶格热导率对总热导率的贡献占据主导地位. 较高的载流子迁移率、电导率及塞贝克系数也对材料的热电转换效率产生极大的影响, 展现出较为优异的电输运性能. 对比分析PdTe2和PtTe2两种材料的ZT值, 发现两种材料的热电性能以p型掺杂为主. PtTe2单层的ZT值高于PdTe2单层, 并且PtTe2单层在常温下的ZT峰值可达到2.75, 是一种极具潜力的热电材料.
Developing efficient thermoelectric materials has never lost the attraction due to their promising performances in the energy conversion. The different mechanisms of phonon scattering lead to the various outstanding performances of layered materials in thermoelectric properties. So we investigate the structure, electronic and thermoelectric transport properties of Penta-XTe2 (X = Pd, Pt) layers based on the density functional theory and Boltzmann transport theory. Those monolayers have a beautiful penta-graphene-like buckled structure with a space group of P2_1/c (No.14). The values of optimized lattice constant a (b) are 6.437 Å (6.145 Å) and 6.423 Å (6.12 Å) for PdTe2 and PtTe2 monolayers, respectively. In order to assess the stability, we calculate the phonon dispersion along the high symmetry lines in the Brillouin zone. The second-order harmonic and third-order anharmonic interatomic force constants (IFCs) are calculated by using 5 × 5 × 1 supercell and 4 × 4 × 1 supercell based on the relaxed unit cell. All these results indicate that those monolayers are thermodynamically stable. Energy band structure is essential in obtaining reliable transport properties. So we calculate the band structures of penta-XTe2. Both PdTe2 and PtTe2 are semiconductors with indirect band gaps of 1.24 eV and 1.38 eV, respectively, which are in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical results. The lattice thermal conductivity of XTe2 decreases with temperature increasing, but the electronic thermal conductivity varies with temperature in the opposite way exactly. It is found that the thermal conductivity comes from the contribution of the lattice thermal conductivity at low temperature. The room-temperature total thermal conductivities in the x (y) direction of the PdTe2 and PtTe2 monolayers are 3.95 W/(m·K) (2.7 W/(m·K)) and 3.27 W/(m·K)(1.04 W/(m·K)), respectively. The contribution of low thermal conductivity indicates that the thermoelectric properties of PtTe2 monolayer may be better than those of PdTe2 monolayer. The relaxation time (τ) and carrier mobility (μ) are obtained based on the Bardeen-Shockley deformation potential (DP) theory in two-dimensional materials. Remarkably, they have the higher hole mobility than the electron mobility. The anisotropic electronic transport properties of XTe2 are obtained by solving Boltzmann transport equation. The electrical conductivity over relaxation time (σ/τ) and Seebeck coefficient (S) contribute to the figure of merit ZT. High Seebeck coefficient (S) with the value larger than 400 μV/K can be found in both p-type and n-type cases, suggesting that the TE performance of XTe2 may be considerable. The room-temperature largest ZT values of penta-XTe2 (X = Pd, Pt) at p-type are 0.83 and 2.75 respectively. The monolayer PtTe2 is a potential thermoelectric material. -
