摘要

The phonovoltaic cell harvests optical phonons like a photovoltaic harvests photons, that is, a nonequilibrium (hot) population of optical phonons (at temperature T_(p,O)) more energetic than the band gap produces electron-hole pairs in a p-n junction, which separates these pairs to produce power. A phonovoltaic material requires an optical phonon mode more energetic than its band gap and much more energetic than the thermal energy (E_(p,O) > ΔE_(e,g) » k_BT), which relaxes by generating electrons and power (at rate γ_(e-p)) rather than acoustic phonons and heat (at rate γ_(p-p)). Graphene (h-C) is the most promising material candidate: when its band gap is tuned to its optical phonon energy without greatly reducing the electron-phonon (e-p) coupling, it reaches a substantial figure of merit [Z_(pv) = ΔE_(e,g)γ_(e-p)/E_(p,O)(γ_(e-p) + γ_(p-p)) ≈ 0.8]. A simple tight-binding (TB) model presented here predicts that lifting the sublattice symmetry of graphene in order to open a band gap proscribes the e-p interaction at the band edge, such that γ_(e-p) → 0 as ΔE_(e,g) → E_(p,O). However, ab initio (DFT-LDA) simulations of layered h-C/BN and substitutional h-C:BN show that the e-p coupling remains substantial in these asymmetric crystals. Indeed, h-C:BN achieves a high figure of merit (Z_(pv) ≈ 0.6). At 300 K and for a Carnot limit of 0.5 (T_(p,O) = 600 K), a h-C:BN phonovoltaic can reach an efficiency of η_(pv) ≈ 0.2, double the thermoelectric efficiency (ZT ≈1) under similar conditions.
