摘要: The thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional graphyne sheets are investigated by using first- principles calculations and the Boltzmann transport equation method. The electronic structure indicates a semiconducting phase for graphyne, compared with the metallic phase of graphene. Consequently, the obtained Seebeck coefficient and the power factor of graphyne are much higher than those of graphene. The calculated phonon mean free path for graphene is 866 nm, which is in good agreement with the experimental value of 775 nm. Meanwhile the phonon mean free path of graphyne is only 60 nm, leading to two order lower thermal conductivity than graphene. We show that the low thermal conductivity of graphyne is due to its mixed sp/sp2 bonding. Our calculations show that the optimized ZT values of graphyne sheets can reach 5.3 at intermediate temperature by appropriate doping.

摘要: Tin telluride (SnTe) has recently attracted much attention as a promising thermoelectric material. In this work, SnTe is alloyed with additional Pb, and the high density crystalline ingots of SnPbxTe (x 1⁄4 0, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06) have been synthesized by a zone-melting method. Through this method, SnPbxTe samples show larger power factors than those prepared by other methods, and a maximum value of 30.5 mW cm 1 K 2 at 823 K has been reached in p-type SnPb0.02Te, which is the highest value reported so far. As a result, a promising figure of merit ZT of $0.81 has been obtained at 823 K.
