Thermoelectric transports in pristine and functionalized boron phosphide monolayers

Abstract Recently, a new monolayer Group III–V material, two-dimensional boron phosphide (BP), has shown great potential for energy storage and energy conversion applications. We study the thermoelectric properties of BP monolayer as well as the effect of functionalization by first-principles calcul...
