“…Thermoelectric transport, describing the process of thermoelectric conversion, is widely investigated in various systems, such as graphene [5,6], quantum dot [7,8], bismuth [9,10], superconductors [11,12], SiC nanoribbon [13,14], and so on. Recently, the discovery of topological insulators(TIs) provides new platform for the development of high-efficiency thermoelectric materials [15][16][17]. In particular, the three-dimensional(3D) TIs host topological surface states protected by the time-reversal symmetry [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
