摘要

Skutterudite is a material studied widely for its conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy, and here, we have investigated structural, electronic and optical properties of CoX3 (X = As, P, Sb) using density functional theory (DFT) and a full potential linearised augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) technique. CoP3 presents a narrow bandgap of 0.524 eV when Modified Becke-Johnson potential (TB-mBJ) is used for electronic band structure calculations. The transport properties calculations give a possibility to construct thermoelectric material with optimised performance and present high values of the figure of merit ZT.
