This study predicts the properties of a family of piezoelectric materials, LiMX2, using first-principles calculations. These materials exhibit both out-of-plane and in-plane piezoelectricity, with particularly high out-of-plane coefficients for LiAlSe2, LiGaTe2, and LiAlTe2. The coexistence of large out-of-plane and in-plane piezoelectricity enables potential applications in both directional and nondirectional piezoelectric devices.
Two-dimensional (2D) piezoelectric materials that can achieve conversion between mechanical and electrical energy are of notable interest for functional materials. However, most 2D materials have only in-plane piezo-electricity, which limits their applications in vertically integrated nanoelectromechanical systems. Here, we employ first-principles calculations to predict properties of a family of piezoelectric materials-Li-based ternary chalcogenides LiMX2 (M = Al, Ga, and In; X = S, Se, and Te). These materials exhibit the coexistence of intrinsic out-of-plane and in-plane piezoelectricity with coefficients d(11) = 1.48-8.66 pm/V and d(31) = 0.24-0.83 pm/V, respectively. The out-of-plane piezoelectric coefficients d(31) of LiAlSe2, LiGaTe2, and LiAlTe2 in particular are as high as 0.61, 0.70, and 0.83 pm/V, respectively, much larger than those of most reported 2D materials. This enhancement can be attributed to the unique double-buckled stacking structure of these LiMX2 monolayers. It is also found that the in-plane piezoelectricity is highly dependent on the ratio of anion and cation polarizabilities, whereas the out-of-plane piezoelectricity exhibits a complicated variation trend with respect to the order of atomic number. The coexistence of large out-of-plane and in-plane piezoelectricity endows LiMX2 monolayers with potential applications in both directional and nondirectional piezoelectric devices.
