Crystalline solids that exhibit inherently low lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) have attracted a
great deal of attention because they offer the only independent control for pursuing a high …

Abstract Copper selenide (Cu 2 Se) is a P-type thermoelectric (TE) semiconductor that is
environmentally friendly and has rich crust content and high cost performance–price ratio …

In recent years, the high-temperature phase of Cu2Se, namely, β-Cu2Se, has attracted
increasing attention due to its outstanding thermoelectric efficiency. The Cu ions in β-Cu2Se …

Halide perovskites with ultralow thermal conductivity have emerged as promising
candidates for thermoelectric materials. We study the lattice dynamics and thermoelectric …

The performance of thermoelectric (TE) materials is restricted by the coupling between
electronic and phonon transport. On the basis of first-principles calculations, self-consistent …

Phase engineering of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC)
monolayer is a key method for manipulating the lattice thermal conductivity. In this paper, we …

Guided by the concept of “phonon-liquid electron-crystal”, many n-type argyrodite
compounds have been developed as candidates for thermoelectric (TE) materials. In recent …

Lowering thermal conductivity via introducing heterointerfaces of heterophase fillings (HPFs)
