“…In fact, some previous studies have indicated that the electron-phonon coupling can severely affect the electron transport properties such as spin filter and magnetoresistances (Liu et al, 2017b;Li and Chen, 2017). Again, (Zhu et al, 2019) found that the presence of bipolar effect in SnP 3 could lower the system thermal conductivity and help enhance the ZT value (∼3.4). Hence, new theoretical method including multiparticle coupling is necessary to predict the thermoelectric performance of nanostructurs.…”

Heterostructures based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted intense attention in recent decades due to their unusual and tunable physics/chemical properties, which can be converted into promising engineering applications ranging from electronics, photonics, and phononics to energy recovery. A fundamental understanding of thermal transport in 2D heterostructures is crucial importance for developing micro-nano devices based on them. In this review, we summarized the recent advances of thermal transport in 2D heterostructures. Firstly, we introduced diverse theoretical approaches and experimental techniques for thermal transport in low-dimensional materials. Then we briefly reviewed the thermal properties of various 2D single-phase materials beyond graphene such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), phosphorene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and borophene, and emphatically discussed various influencing factors including structural defects, mechanical strain, and substrate interactions. Moreover, we highlighted thermal conduction control in tailored nanosystems—2D heterostructures and presented the associated underlying physical mechanisms, especially interface-modulated phonon dynamics. Finally, we outline their significant applications in advanced thermal management and thermoelectrics conversion, and discuss a number of open problems on thermal transport in 2D heterostructures.

“…For example, Ouyang et al (2018) predicted the ZT value up to 2.06 along the armchair direction of InP 3 monolayer at room temperature. Zhu et al (2019) indicated that the ZT value of monolayer SnP 3 was 3.46 along the armchair direction at 500 K. Single-layer SbP 3 (Sun et al, 2020) and GeP 3 (Jing et al, 2017) are also predicted as good TE materials.…”

Recently, monolayer of triphosphides (e.g., InP3, SnP3, and GaP3) attracts much attention due to their good thermoelectric performance. Herein, we predict a novel triphosphide monolayer AsP3 and comprehensively investigate its thermoelectric properties by combining first-principles calculations and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. The results show that AsP3 monolayer has an ultralow thermal conductivity of 0.36 and 0.55 Wm K−1 at room temperature along the armchair and zigzag direction. Surprisingly, its maximum Seebeck coefficient in the p-type doping reaches 2,860 µVK−1. Because of the ultralow thermal conductivity and ultrahigh Seebeck coefficient, the thermoelectric performance of AsP3 monolayer is excellent, and the maximum ZT of p-type can reach 3.36 at 500 K along the armchair direction, which is much higher than that of corresponding bulk AsP3 at the same temperature. Our work indicates that the AsP3 monolayer is the promising candidate in TE applications and will also stimulate experimental scientists’ interest in the preparation, characterization, and thermoelectric performance tuning.
