The phonon thermal conductivity of superlattices can be effectively modulated by changing the superlattice arrangement and inducing structural defects, which in turn enhances the thermoelectric performance. The thermoelectric properties of the superlattices increase with temperature and central region length, and the figure of merit can reach 1.38 at 500 K for the aperiodic superlattice. This suggests a new potential strategy for tuning the thermoelectric performance of devices by exploiting the arrangements of aperiodic superlattices.
Effective regulation of phonon thermal conductivity is crucial for the understanding of phonon transmission and improving thermoelectric (TE) performance. Using density functional theory (DFT) combined with the non -equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method, we investigated the effect of phonon localization induced by aperiodic superlattices on the TE transport properties of superlattices based on monolayer MoS2-MoSe2. The results show that the structural defects obtained by changing the superlattice arrangement can effectively modulate the phonon thermal conductivity independently. In addition, the TE properties of the superlattices increase with temperature and central region length. The maximum value of the TE figure of merit of the aperiodic superlattice can reach 1.38 at 500 K. This implies a new potential strategy for tuning the TE perfor-mance of devices by exploiting the arrangements of the aperiodic superlattice.
