Thermoelectric conversion technology is increasingly important for sustainable energy, particularly in transforming waste heat into electricity. In this study, we explore the thermoelectric properties of three novel two-dimensional materials, monolayer $R\text{TeCl}$ (with $R=\text{La},\text{Pr},\text{Nd}$), using density-functional theory and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. These materials are stable can be easily exfoliated from bulk structures due to their low cleavage energy....
Recently, two-dimensional (2D) layered polarized ZnIn2S4 nanosheets have been successfully synthesized in experiments. However, the monolayers are unstable air, which hinders their practical applications. Therefore, this work, we proposed a new family of nonpolarized (β2-phase) ZnX2Z4 (X = In, Al, and Ga; Z S, Se, Te) by first-principles. It is confirmed that energies β2-phase lower than those β-phase monolayers. Moreover, these not only desirable indirect band gaps but also high electron...
Recently, two-dimensional (2D) ternary monolayer MSi2N4 (M = Mo, W) was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. However, has an indirect bandgap, which seriously hinders its application in optoelectronic devices. Herein, we propose two MSi2N4/InS van der Waals heterojunctions (vdWHs) possessing type-II band alignments first-principles. Our results indicate that these vdWHs achieve indirect-to-direct bandgap transition and exhibit fascinating optical absorption spectra the range of visible...
In response to the pressing energy crisis, thermoelectric materials have emerged as promising solutions for converting waste heat into electrical energy. Meanwhile, low-dimensional with micro/nanoscale dimensions are playing an increasingly important role in chip thermal management and self-powered wearable electronic devices. This work investigates properties of three SixGey monolayers, predicted through approach that combines advantages silicene germanene. Utilizing density functional...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials with high mobility and suitable direct band gap can be candidates for photoelectric materials. However, some ideal 2D are easily oxidation in ambient conditions. Herein, we have systematically explored a new ternary layered material by firstprinciples calculations, named XYO2 (X=Li, Na; Y=Al, Ga, In). These monolayers possess desirable gaps, revealing fine optical adsorption efficiency due to the spectra covering visible ultraviolet light. Importantly, NaAlO2...
