This study focused on the structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of RbYZ materials with 8 valence electron count, showing promising potential for renewable energy applications. The bandgap of these materials ranges from 0.201 eV to 2.591 eV, comparable to state-of-the-art photovoltaic materials. Thermoelectric properties were computed at various temperatures, indicating that these compounds are viable candidates for renewable energy technologies.
In the present work, we have studied structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of Rb based state-of-the-art materials RbYZ (Y = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba; Z = P, As, Sb and Bi) having 8 valence electron count (VEC) using density functional theory followed by solution of Boltzmann transport equation with constant relaxation time approximation. The exchange and correlation potential are described by the GGA of Wu and Cohen (GGA-WC); the Becke-Johnson approach modified by Tran and Blaha (TB-mBJ) has been used to model the exchange-correlation potential. The bandgap of these materials lies in the range of 0.201 eV-2.591 eV. The various optical parameters are comparable with the state-of-the-art photovoltaic materials. Thermoelectric properties have been computed at 300 K, 600 K and 900 K. At these temperatures lattice thermal conductivity have been computed using Slack's model. This detailed study shows that these compounds are promising for renewable energy applications.
