The layered Bi-chalcogenide compounds have been drawing much attention as a new layered superconductor family since 2012. Due to the rich variation of crystal structure and constituent elements, the development of new physics and chemistry of the layered Bi-chalcogenide family and its applications as functional materials have been expected. Recently, it was revealed that the layered Bi chalcogenides can show a relatively high thermoelectric performance (ZT = 0.36 in LaOBiSSe at ~650 K). Here, we show the crystal structure variation of the Bi-chalcogenide family and their thermoelectric properties. Finally, the possible strategies for enhancing the thermoelectric performance are discussed on the basis of the experimental and the theoretical facts reviewed here.

Although SbSe2-based layered compounds have been predicted to be high-performance thermoelectric materials and topological materials, most of these compounds obtained experimentally have been insulators so far. Here, we present the effect of Bi subst
itution on the thermoelectric properties of SbSe2-based layered compounds NdO0.8F0.2Sb1-xBixSe2 (x = 0-0.4). The room temperature electrical resistivity is decreased to 8.0 * 10^-5 ohmm for x = 0.4. The electrical power factor is calculated to be 1.4 * 10^-4 W/mK^2 at 660 K, which is in reasonable agreement with combined Jonker and Ioffe analysis. The room-temperature lattice thermal conductivity of less than 1 W/mK is almost independent of x, in contrast to the point-defect scattering model for conventional alloys. The present work provides an avenue for exploring SbSe2-based insulating and BiSe2-based conducting systems.
Lead and tin chalcogenides have been studied widely due to their promising thermoelectric (TE) properties. Further enhancement in their TE efficiency has been reported upon the reduction of the dimension, which is an important feature in modern devic
e fabrications. Using density functional theory combined with the Semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory, we studied the structural, electronic and TE properties of two-dimensional (2D) MX (M = Sn, Pb; X = S, Te) monolayers. Spin-orbit coupling was found to have significant effects on their electronic structure, particularly for the heavy compounds. Structural optimization followed by phonon transport studies prevailed that the rectangular ({gamma}-) phase is energetically the most favorable for SnS and SnTe monolayers, whereas the square structure is found the most stable for PbS and PbTe monolayers. Our results are in good agreement with previous studies. These 2D materials exhibit high Seebeck coefficients and power factors along with low lattice thermal conductivities, which are essential features of good TE materials. The maximum figure of merits (ZT) of 1.04, 1.46, 1.51 and 1.94 are predicted for n-type SnS, SnTe, PBS and p-type PbTe monolayers respectively at 700 K, which are higher than their bulk ZT values. Hence, these monolayers are promising candidates for TE applications.
Hot wall technique was used to grow block single crystal films of Bi_2Te_3 and solid solutions of Bi_(0.5)Sb_(1.5)Te_3 on mica (muscovite) substrates. X-ray diffraction studies demonstrated that the crystalline c-axis in the films was normal to the s
ubstrate plane. Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and magnetoresistivity tensor components were measured at various orientations of magnetic and electric fields in the temperature interval 77-300 K and magnetic field up to 14 T. Scattering mechanism of charge carriers in the films were studied using temperature dependences of the degeneracy parameter and the Seebeck coefficient in terms of a many-valley model of energy spectrum. Obtained results have shown that the effective scattering parameter is considerably differed from the value specific for an acoustic scattering of charge carriers in the weakly degenerate films due to an additional scattering of charge carriers on interface and interctystallite boundaries. These features of charge carrier scattering are supposed to affect electronic transport in the films and enhance figure of merit.
Polycrystalline sample of the new layered superconductor Bi4O4S3 is successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction method by using Bi, S and Bi2O3 powders with one step reaction. The superconducting transition temperature (Tconset=4.5 K), the zero
resistance transition temperature (Tc0=4.07 K) and the diamagnetic transition temperature (4.02 K at H=10 Oe) were confirmed by electrical transport and magnetic measurements. Also, our results indicate a typical type II-superconductor behavior. In addition, a large thermoelectric effect was observed with a dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of about 0.03 at 300K, indicating Bi4O4S3 can be a potential thermoelectric material.
We analyze the anisotropic electrical and thermal transport measurements in single crystals of In2Te5 belonging to monoclinic space group C12 c1 with the temperature gradient applied parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis of the cr
ystals. The thermal conductivity along the c-axis thermal conductivity parallel was found to smaller by a factor of 2 compared to the thermal conductivity along the direction perpendicular to the c-axis over the entire temperature range. In contrast, the Seebeck coefficient along the c-axis parallel was found to be higher than its value along the direction perpendicular to the c-axis. At room temperature, the figure of merit ZT parallel is found to be 4 times larger as compared to the figure of merit ZT perpendicular.
