Progress in High Performance in Oxychalcogenide Bicuseo: A Promising Thermoelectric Material for Energy Harvesting Applications
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: BiCuSeO (BCSO) is one of the chalcogenides-based energy harvesting thermoelectric materials that have been studied since past one decade.BCSO based thermoeletrcic materials are attractive because of their inherent anisotropic properties as a result of their multi-layered structure which directly influences the thermoelectric figure of mertit ZT.This review primarily focuses on the evolution of BCSO based system up to the latest developments.First, we have discussed the various fundamental aspects of BCSO compounds followed by various strategies for tuning the thermoelectric parameters such as thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.They have been discussed under various headings such as single carrier doping, co-doping technique, defect engineering, bandgap engineering, modulation doping and spin Seebeck effect.To summarize, this review compiles all the BCSO based compounds with high ZT as reported year wise.
