The relationship between the electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of Zintl compounds M2Zn5As4 (M = K, Rb)
Literature Information
Jueming Yang, Yuli Yan, Yuanxu Wang
The electronic structure and the thermoelectric properties of M2Zn5As4 (M = K, Rb) are studied by the first principles and the semiclassical BoltzTraP theory. It is determined that they are semiconductors with an indirect band gap of about 1 eV, which is much larger than that of Ca5Al2Sb6 (0.50 eV). The calculated electronic localization function indicates that they are typical Zintl bonding compounds. The combination of heavy and light bands near the valence band maximum may improve their thermoelectric performance. Rb2Zn5As4 exhibits relatively large Seebeck coefficients, high electrical conductivities, and the large “maximum” thermoelectric figures of merit (ZeT). Compared with Ca5Al2Sb6, the highest ZeT of Rb2Zn5As4 appears at relatively low carrier concentration. For Rb2Zn4As5, the p-type doping may achieve a higher thermoelectric performance than n-type doping. The thermoelectric properties of Rb2Zn5As4 are possibly superior to those of Ca5Al2Sb6.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
