More Details: Thermoelectric power generation has been recognized as one of the most important technologies, and high-performance thermoelectric materials have long been pursued. However, because of the large number of candidate materials, this quest is extremely challenging, and it has become clear that a firm theoretical concept from the viewpoint of band-structure engineering is needed. In this study, we theoretically demonstrate that pnictogen-dichalcogenide layered compounds, which originally attracted attention as a family of superconductors and have recently been investigated as thermoelectric materials, can exhibit very high thermoelectric performance with elemental substitution. In particular, we clarify a promising guiding principle for materials design and find that LaOAsSe$_2$, a material that has yet to be synthesized, has a powerfactor that is six times as large as that of the known compound LaOBiS$_2$ and can exhibit a very large $ZT$ under some plausible assumptions. This large enhancement of the thermoelectric performance originates from the quasi-one-dimensional gapped Dirac-like band dispersion, which is realized by the square-lattice network. Our study offers one ideal limit of the band structure for thermoelectric materials. Because our target materials have high controllability of constituent elements and feasibility of carrier doping, experimental studies along this line are strongly awaited.
