Enhancement of Thermoelectric Properties of Molybdenum Diselenide Through Combined Mg Intercalation and Nb Doping
Source abstract
Abstract
Thermoelectric properties of MoSe2.1 were enhanced through a combination of Mg intercalation and Nb doping. Magnesium intercalation simultaneously enhances the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity, owing to a favorable modification of band structure upon Mg intercalation. And Nb substitution on the Mo site increases carrier concentration by two orders of magnitude, in addition to reducing the thermal conductivity of the lattice. With systematic study of the anisotropic thermal and electrical transport properties, an optimized ZT of 0.2 was achieved at 888 K for a Nb0.03 Mo0.97Se2.1Mg0.2 sample along its out-of-plane direction, far exceeding the ∼0.01 value for intrinsic MoSe2.1. While 2 dimensional (2D) transitional-metal dichalcogenides with layered structure have been extensively studied for the fields of ion batteries, optical and electronic devices, and so on, enhancement of thermoelectric properties for these intrinsic semiconductors has rarely been investigated.
