Purely ionically bonded cation paving the way to ultralow thermal conductivity and large thermoelectric figure of merit in Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite Cs<sub>2</sub>SnI<sub>2</sub>Br<sub>2</sub>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Lower dimensional materials have gained quite a bit of popularity in the last few decades. Perovskite materials have been studied extensively for their photovoltaic properties. But for large scale application of photovoltaic materials, the thermal properties need to be studied. In this work, using first principles calculations, we have studied the thermal conductivity and thermoelectric performance of quasi two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper phase of perovskite, Cs2SnI2Br2. The Cs atoms are found to be ionically bonded to the halogens leading to low elastic constants and hence give rise to weak bonding. The large anharmonicity in this material causes the lattice thermal conductivity to be ultralow having a value of 0.30 W·m−1·K−1 at 300 K and therefore the thermoelectric figure of merit has been found to be high with a maximum value of 2.08 at 600 K. This lead-free 2D perovskite can be the precursor to a wide variety of similar materials with ultralow thermal conductivity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
