Field‐Effect Transistors: Low‐Symmetry PdSe₂ for High Performance Thermoelectric Applications (Adv. Funct. Mater. 52/2020)

Abstract

In article number 2004896, John T. L. Thong, Jing Wu, and co-workers investigate thermoelectric transport in novel 2D palladium diselenide (PdSe2) with a low-symmetry pentagonal lattice. Due to its sensitive dependence on the interlayer coupling originating from the special lattice structure, the thermoelectric performance can be largely enhanced. The high band convergence and quantum confinement through thickness engineering advance and broaden the applications of thermoelectric such as in soft robotics, health monitoring, and human-machine interfaces.
