摘要:

采用密度泛函方法结合玻尔兹曼理论研究了CuInTe2黄铜矿的电子和输运性质。杂化泛函理论预测的禁带宽度为0.92 eV,与实验数据吻合较好,并导致其Seebeck系数比窄禁带热电材料的Seebeck系数大.通过微调载流子浓度,可以显著优化系统的电导率和功率因数。再加上固有的低热导率,CuInTe2化合物的ZT值可以提高到高达1.72,在850 K,这是明显大于实验测量的,这表明仍有空间,以改善黄铜矿化合物的热电性能。

英文摘要:

The electronic and transport properties of CuInTe2 chalcopyrite are investigated using density functional calculations combined with Boltzmann theory. The band gap predicted from hybrid functional is 0.92 eV, which agrees well with experimental data and leads to relatively larger Seebeck coefficient compared with those of narrow-gap thermoelectric materials. By fine tuning the carrier concentration, the electrical conductivity and power factor of the system can be significantly optimized. Together with the inherent low thermal conductivity, the ZT values of CuInTe2 compound can be enhanced to as high as 1.72 at 850 K, which is obviously larger than those measured experimentally and suggests there is still room to improve the thermoelectric performance of this chalcopyrite compound.
