Article Abstract
BiCuSeO is a promising oxygen-containing thermoelectric material due to its intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity and excellent service stability. However, the low electrical conductivity limits its thermoelectric performance. Aliovalent element doping can significantly improve their carrier concentration, but it may also impact carrier mobility and thermal transport properties. Considering the influence of graphene on carrier-phonon decoupling, BiPbCaCuSeO (BPCCSO)-graphene composites are designed. For further practical application, a rapid preparation method is employed, taking less than 1 h, which combines self-propagating high-temperature synthesis with spark plasma sintering. The incorporation of graphene simultaneously optimizes the electrical properties and thermal conductivity, yielding a high ratio of weighted mobility to lattice thermal conductivity (144 at 300 K and 95 at 923 K). Ultimately, BPCCSO-graphene composites achieve exceptional thermoelectric performance with a ZT value of 1.6 at 923 K, bringing a ≈40% improvement over BPCCSO without graphene. This work further promotes the practical application of BiCuSeO-based materials and this facile and effective strategy can also be extended to other thermoelectric systems.

This study presents a comprehensive first-principles and device-performance investigation of alkali metal-based anti-perovskites ZBrO (Z = K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) for advanced optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Using density functional theory (DFT) with GGA-PBE and mGGA-rSCAN functionals, we analyzed the structural, electronic, optical, mechanical, phonon, population, and thermoelectric properties of these compounds. All ZBrO materials exhibit direct band gaps and strong optical absorption in the visible-UV spectrum.

While non-destructive in-line monitoring at manufacturing sites is essential for safe distribution cycles of pharmaceuticals, efforts are still insufficient to develop analytical systems for detailed dynamic visualisation of foreign substances and material composition in target pills. Although spectroscopies, expected towards pharma testing, have faced technical challenges in in-line setups for bulky equipment housing, this work demonstrates compact dynamic photo-monitoring systems by selectively extracting informative irradiation-wavelengths from comprehensive optical references of target pills. This work develops a non-destructive in-line dynamic inspection system for pharma agent pills with carbon nanotube (CNT) photo-thermoelectric imagers and the associated ultrabroadband sub-terahertz (THz)-infrared (IR) multi-wavelength monitoring.

Quasi-1D van der Waals materials have emerged as promising candidates for flexible electronic and thermoelectric applications due to their intrinsic anisotropy, narrow band gaps, and mechanical flexibility. Herein, MXSe (M = Nb, Ta, X = Pd, Pt) nanowires are studied to understand the bonding-directed growth mechanism. Bond valence sums and binding energy analyses reveal that weak X2-Se2 interactions perpendicular to the c-axis facilitate anisotropic growth.
