Abstract
The long-range periodic atomic arrangement or the lack thereof in solids typically dictates the magnitude and temperature dependence of their lattice thermal conductivity (κlat). Compared to crystalline materials, glasses exhibit a much-suppressed κlat across all temperatures as the phonon mean free path reaches parity with the interatomic distances therein. While the occurrence of such glass-like thermal transport in crystalline solids captivates the scientific community with its fundamental inquiry, it also holds the potential for profoundly impacting the field of thermoelectric energy conversion. Therefore, efficient manipulation of thermal transport and comprehension of the microscopic mechanisms dictating phonon scattering in crystalline solids are paramount. As quantized lattice vibrations (i.e., phonons) drive κlat, atomistic insights into the chemical bonding characteristics are crucial to have informed knowledge about their origins. Recently, it has been observed that within the highly symmetric 'averaged' crystal structures, often there are hidden locally asymmetric atomic motifs (within a few Å), which exert far-reaching influence on phonon transport. Phenomena such as local atomic off-centering, atomic rattling or tunneling, liquid-like atomic motion, site splitting, local ordering, etc., which arise within a few Å scales, are generally found to drastically disrupt the passage of heat carrying phonons. Despite their profound implication(s) for phonon dynamics, they are often overlooked by traditional crystallographic techniques. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the fundamental aspects of heat transport and explore the status quo of innately low thermally conductive crystalline solids, wherein the phonon dynamics is majorly governed by local structural phenomena. We also discuss advanced techniques capable of characterizing the crystal structure at the sub-atomic level. Subsequently, we delve into the emergent new ideas with examples linked to local crystal structure and lattice dynamics. While discussing the implications of the local structure for thermal conductivity, we provide the state-of-the-art examples of high-performance thermoelectric materials. Finally, we offer our viewpoint on the experimental and theoretical challenges, potential new paths, and the integration of novel strategies with material synthesis to achieve low κlat and realize high thermoelectric performance in crystalline solids via local structure designing.

Abstract
Sb2Te3, a binary chalcogenide-based 3D topological insulator, attracts significant attention for its exceptional thermoelectric performance. We report the vibrational properties of magnetically doped Sb2Te3thermoelectric material. Ni doping induces defect/disorder in the system and plays a positive role in engineering the thermoelectric properties through tuning the vibrational phonon modes. Synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction study confirms good crystalline quality and single-phase nature of the synthesized samples. The change in structural parameters, includingBisoand strain, further corroborate with structural disorder. Detailed modification of phonon modes with doping and temperature variation is analysed from temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic measurement. Compressive lattice strain is observed from the blue shift of Raman peaks owing to Ni incorporation in Sb site. An attempt is made to extract the lattice thermal conductivity from total thermal conductivity estimated through optothermal Raman studies. Hall concentration data support the change in temperature-dependent resistivity and thermopower. Remarkable increase in thermopower is observed after Ni doping. Simulation of the Pisarenko model, indicating the convergence of the valence band, explains the observed enhancement of thermopower in Sb2-xNixTe3. The energy gap between the light and heavy valence band at Γ point is found to be 30 meV (for Sb2Te3), which is reduced to 3 meV (in Sb1.98Ni0.02Te3). A significant increase in thermoelectric power factor is obtained from 715 μWm-1K-2for pristine Sb2Te3to 2415 μWm-1K-2for Ni-doped Sb2Te3sample. Finally, the thermoelectric figure of merit,ZTis found to increase by four times in Sb1.98Ni0.02Te3than that of its pristine counterpart.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2308075.

Abstract
Manipulating thermal properties of materials can be interpreted as the control of how vibrations of atoms (known as phonons) scatter in a crystal lattice. Compared to a perfect crystal, crystalline solids with defects are expected to have shorter phonon mean free paths caused by point defect scattering, leading to lower lattice thermal conductivities than those without defects. While this is true in many cases, alloying can increase the phonon mean free path in the Cd-doped AgSnSbSe3 system to increase the lattice thermal conductivity from 0.65 to 1.05 W m-1 K-1 by replacing 18% of the Sb sites with Cd. It is found that the presence of lone pair electrons leads to the off-centering of cations from the centrosymmetric position of a cubic lattice. X-ray pair distribution function analysis reveals that this structural distortion is relieved when the electronic configuration of the dopant element cannot produce lone pair electrons. Furthermore, a decrease in the Grüneisen parameter with doping is experimentally confirmed, establishing a relationship between the stereochemical activity of lone pair electrons and the lattice anharmonicity. The observed "harmonic" behavior with doping suggests that lone pair electrons must be preserved to effectively suppress phonon transport in these systems.

Abstract
Materials with low thermal conductivity have received significant attention across various research fields, including thermal insulation materials, thermal barrier coatings, and thermoelectric materials. Exploring novel materials with intrinsically low thermal conductivity and investigating their phonon transport properties, chemical bonding, and atomic coordination are crucial. In this study, a novel ternary sulfide is successfully discovered, Cu2 ZrS3 , which is achieved by introducing copper ions into both the interlayer and intralayer of ZrS2 . The resulting structure encompasses various coordination forms within each layer, such as [CuS4 ], [ZrS6 ], and [CuS3 ], leading to pronounced phonon anharmonicity induced by the asymmetric bonding of tri-coordinated Cu atoms within the [ZrS6 ] layer. As a result, Cu2 ZrS3 exhibits intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity (κL ) of about 0.83 W m-1 K-1 at 300 K and 0.35 W m-1 K-1 at 683 K, which are in the exceptionally low level among sulfides. In comparison to the conventional approach of inserting guests between layers, the substitution of atoms within layers provides a novel and effective strategy for designing low κL materials in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs).

Abstract
Thermoelectric materials are attracting considerable attention to alleviate the global energy crisis by enabling the direct conversion of heat into electricity. As a class of I-V-VI2 semiconductors, AgBiSe2 is expected to be the potential thermoelectric material to replace conventional PbTe-based compounds due to its non-toxic and abundant nature of its constituent elements. This review article summarizes the fundamental properties of AgBiSe2, thermoelectric properties, the effect of different dopants on its transport properties and entropy engineering for cubic phase stabilization with the detailed description of related techniques used to analyze the properties of AgBiSe2. The current thermoelectric figure-of-merit and approaches to further improve performance and operational stability are also discussed.

Abstract
Comprehension of chemical bonding and its intertwined relation with charge carriers and heat propagation through a crystal lattice is imperative to design compounds for thermoelectric energy conversion. Here, we report the synthesis of large single crystal of new p-type cubic AgSnSbTe3 which shows an innately ultra-low lattice thermal conductivity (κlat ) of 0.47-0.27 Wm-1 K-1 and a high electrical conductivity (1238 - 800 S cm-1 ) in the temperature range 294-723 K. We investigated the origin of the low κlat by analysing the nature of the chemical bonding and its crystal structure. The interaction between Sn(5 s)/Ag(4d) and Te(5p) orbitals was found to generate antibonding states just below the Fermi level in the electronic band structure, resulting in a softening of the lattice in AgSnSbTe3 . Furthermore, the compound exhibits metavalent bonding which provides highly polarizable bonds with a strong lattice anharmonicity while maintaining the superior electrical conductivity. The electronic band structure exhibits nearly degenerate valence-band maxima that help to achieve a high Seebeck coefficient throughout the measured temperature range and, as a result, the maximum thermoelectric figure of merit reaches to ≈1.2 at 661 K in pristine single crystal of AgSnSbTe3 .

Abstract
An in-depth insight into the chemistry and nature of the individual chemical bonds is essential for understanding materials. Bonding analysis is thus expected to provide important features for large-scale data analysis and machine learning of material properties. Such chemical bonding information can be computed using the LOBSTER software package, which post-processes modern density functional theory data by projecting the plane wave-based wave functions onto an atomic orbital basis. With the help of a fully automatic workflow, the VASP and LOBSTER software packages are used to generate the data. We then perform bonding analyses on 1520 compounds (insulators and semiconductors) and provide the results as a database. The projected densities of states and bonding indicators are benchmarked on standard density-functional theory computations and available heuristics, respectively. Lastly, we illustrate the predictive power of bonding descriptors by constructing a machine learning model for phononic properties, which shows an increase in prediction accuracies by 27% (mean absolute errors) compared to a benchmark model differing only by not relying on any quantum-chemical bonding features.

Abstract
Achieving high thermoelectric performance requires efficient manipulation of thermal conductivity and a fundamental understanding of the microscopic mechanisms of phonon transport in crystalline solids. One of the major challenges in thermal transport is achieving ultralow lattice thermal conductivity. In this study, we use the anti-bonding character of the highest-occupied valence band as an efficient descriptor for discovering new materials with an ultralow thermal conductivity. We first examined the relationship between anti-bonding valence bands (ABVBs) and low lattice thermal conductivity in model systems PbTe and CsPbBr3. Then, we conducted a high-throughput search in the Materials Project database and identified over 600 experimentally stable binary semiconductors with an anti-bonding character in their valence bands. From our candidate list, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the chemical bonds and the thermal transport in the XS family, where X = K, Rb, and Cs are alkaline metals. These materials all exhibit ultralow thermal conductivities less than 1 W/(m K) at room temperature despite simple structures. We attributed the ultralow thermal conductivity to the weakened bonds and increased phonon anharmonicity due to their ABVBs. Our results provide chemical intuitions to understand lattice dynamics in crystals and open up a convenient venue toward searching for materials with an intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity.

Abstract
Thermal properties strongly affect the applications of functional materials, such as thermal management, thermal barrier coatings, and thermoelectrics. Thermoelectric (TE) materials must have a low lattice thermal conductivity to maintain a temperature gradient to generate the voltage. Traditional strategies for minimizing the lattice thermal conductivity mainly rely on introduced multiscale defects to suppress the propagation of phonons. Here, the origin of the anomalously low lattice thermal conductivity is uncovered in Cd-alloyed Mg3 Sb2 Zintl compounds through complementary bonding analysis. First, the weakened chemical bonds and the lattice instability induced by the antibonding states of 5p-4d levels between Sb and Cd triggered giant anharmonicity and consequently increased the phonon scattering. Moreover, the bond heterogeneity also augmented Umklapp phonon scatterings. Second, the weakened bonds and heavy element alloying softened the phonon mode and significantly decreased the group velocity. Thus, an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of ≈0.33 W m-1 K-1 at 773 K is obtained, which is even lower than the predicated minimum value. Eventually, Na0.01 Mg1.7 Cd1.25 Sb2 displays a high ZT of ≈0.76 at 773 K, competitive with most of the reported values. Based on the complementary bonding analysis, the work provides new means to control thermal transport properties through balancing the lattice stability and instability.

Abstract
Lightweight diamond-like structure (DLS) materials are excellent candidates for thermoelectric (TE) applications due to their low costs, eco-friendly nature, and property stability. The main obstacles restricting the energy-conversion performance by the lightweight DLS materials are high lattice thermal conductivity and relatively low carrier mobility. By investigating the anion substitution effect on the structural, microstructural, electronic, and thermal properties of Cu2CoSnS4-xSex, we show that the simultaneous enhancement of the crystal symmetry and bonding inhomogeneity engineering are effective approaches to enhance the TE performance in lightweight DLS materials. Particularly, the increase of x in Cu2CoSnS4-xSex makes the DLS structure with the ideal tetrahedral bond angles of 109.5° favorable, leading to better crystal symmetry and higher carrier mobility in samples with higher selenium content. In turn, the phonon transport in the investigated DLS materials is strongly disturbed due to the bonding inhomogeneity between anions and three sorts of cations inducing large lattice anharmonicity. The increase of Se content in Cu2CoSnS4-xSex only intensified this effect resulting in a lower lattice component of the thermal conductivity (κL) for Se-rich samples. As a result of the enhanced power factor S2ρ-1 and the low κL, the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT achieves a high value of 0.75 for Cu2CoSnSe4 DLS material. This work demonstrates that crystal symmetry and bonding inhomogeneity play an important role in the transport properties of DLS materials and provide a path for the development of new perspective materials for TE energy conversion.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between the crystal structure, chemical bonding, and lattice dynamics is crucial for the design of materials with low thermal conductivities, which are essential in fields as diverse as thermoelectrics, thermal barrier coatings, and optoelectronics. The bismuthinite-aikinite series, Cu1-x□xPb1-xBi1+xS3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1, where □ represents a vacancy), has recently emerged as a family of n-type semiconductors with exceptionally low lattice thermal conductivities. We present a detailed investigation of the structure, electronic properties, and the vibrational spectrum of aikinite, CuPbBiS3 (x = 0), in order to elucidate the origin of its ultralow thermal conductivity (0.48 W m-1 K-1 at 573 K), which is close to the calculated minimum for amorphous and disordered materials, despite its polycrystalline nature. Inelastic neutron scattering data reveal an anharmonic optical phonon mode at ca. 30 cm-1, attributed mainly to the motion of Pb2+ cations. Analysis of neutron diffraction data, together with ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, shows that the Pb2+ lone pairs are rotating and that, with increasing temperature, Cu+ and Pb2+ cations, which are separated at distances of ca. 3.3 Å, exhibit significantly larger displacements from their equilibrium positions than Bi3+ cations. In addition to bond heterogeneity, a temperature-dependent interaction between Cu+ and the rotating Pb2+ lone pair is a key contributor to the scattering effects that lower the thermal conductivity in aikinite. This work demonstrates that coupling of rotating lone pairs and the vibrational motion is an effective mechanism to achieve ultralow thermal conductivity in crystalline materials.

Abstract
Hosts of 2D materials exist, yet few allow compositional and structural tailoring as the MQ2 (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se) family does, for which various structural superlattices have been synthesized. Using thorough first-principles calculations, we show how bonding hierarchy contributes to the structural resilience of 2D PdPQ and allows for full-range alloying of sulfur and selenium. Within the structural unit of Pd2P2Q2, the covalently-bonded [P2Q2]4- polyanions hold the structure together with their molecular-like P-P bonds while ionically bonded Pd-Qs allow the S/Se substitution. Here, the bonding hierarchy imparts superior electronic and structural features to the PdPQ monolayers. As such, the flat-and-dispersive valence band and the eight degenerate valleys of the conduction band benefit the p-type and n-type thermoelectricity of pristine PdPQ, which can be further enhanced by alloying. The high-entropy alloying synergistically suppresses the lattice heat transport from 75 to 30 W m-1 K-1 and increases the band degeneracy of PdPQ monolayers, resulting in an overall improvement in zT. Combining these features, in a naïve approach, results in a large zT approaching two for both p-type and n-type doping. However, accurate fully-fledged electron-phonon calculations rebut this promise, showing that at high temperatures, the increased electron scattering results in a stagnant power factor in the flat-and-dispersive valence band. Using a realistic first-principles scattering, we finally calculate the thermoelectric efficiency of PdPQ (Q = S, Se) and highlight the importance of an accurate estimation of electron relaxation time for thermoelectric predictions.

Abstract
Heat is abundantly available from various sources including solar irradiation, geothermal energy, industrial processes, automobile exhausts, and from the human body and other living beings. However, these heat sources are often overlooked despite their abundance, and their potential applications remain underdeveloped. In recent years, important progress has been made in the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials, which have been extensively studied at medium and high temperatures, but less so at near room temperature. Silver-based chalcogenides have gained much attention as near room temperature thermoelectric materials, and they are anticipated to catalyze tremendous growth in energy harvesting for advancing internet of things appliances, self-powered wearable medical systems, and self-powered wearable intelligent devices. This review encompasses the recent advancements of thermoelectric silver-based chalcogenides including binary and multinary compounds, as well as their hybrids and composites. Emphasis is placed on strategic approaches which improve the value of the figure of merit for better thermoelectric performance at near room temperature via engineering material size, shape, composition, bandgap, etc. This review also describes the potential of thermoelectric materials for applications including self-powering wearable devices created by different approaches. Lastly, the underlying challenges and perspectives on the future development of thermoelectric materials are discussed.

Abstract
A convenient, reversible, fast, and wide-range switching of thermal conductivity is desired for efficient heat energy management. However, traditional methods, such as temperature-induced phase transition and chemical doping, have many limitations, e.g., the lack of continuous tunability over a wide temperature range and low switching speed. In this work, a strategy of electric field-driven crystal symmetry engineering to efficiently modulate thermal conductivity is reported with first-principles calculations. By simply changing the direction of an external electric field loaded in ferroelectric PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3, near the morphotropic phase boundary composition, we obtain the largest switching of thermal conductivity for ferroelectric materials at room temperature based on the dual-phonon theory, i.e., normal and diffuson-like phonons, with three different criteria. The calculation results indicate that with decreasing crystal symmetry, the degeneracy of phonon modes reduces and the avoid-crossing behavior of phonon branches enhances, leading to the increase of diffuson-like phonons and weighted phonon-phonon scattering phase space. A thermal switch prototype based on PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 is further shown that can protect the Li-ion battery by modulating its temperature up to 17.5 °C. Our studies would pave the way for designing next-generation thermal switch with high speed, a wide temperature range, and a large switching ratio.

Abstract
Understanding the interplay between various design strategies (for instance, bonding heterogeneity and lone pair induced anharmonicity) to achieve ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (κl) is indispensable for discovering novel functional materials for thermal energy applications. In the present study, we investigate layered PbXF (X = Cl, Br, I), which offers bonding heterogeneity through the layered crystal structure, anharmonicity through the Pb2+ 6s2 lone pair, and phonon softening through the mass difference between F and Pb/X. The weak interlayer van der Waals bonding and the strong intralayer ionic bonding with partial covalent bonding result in a significant bonding heterogeneity and a poor phonon transport in the out-of-plane direction. Large average Grüneisen parameters (≥2.5) demonstrate strong anharmonicity. The computed phonon dispersions show flat bands, which suggest short phonon lifetimes, especially for PbIF. Enhanced Born effective charges are due to cross-band-gap hybridization. PbIF shows lattice instability at a small volume expansion of 0.1%. The κl values obtained by the two channel transport model are 20-50% higher than those obtained by solving the Boltzmann transport equation. Overall, ultralow κl values are found at 300 K, especially for PbIF. We propose that the interplay of bonding heterogeneity, lone pair induced anharmonicity, and constituent elements with high mass difference aids the design of low κl materials for thermal energy applications.

Abstract
Cation disordering is commonly found in multinary cubic compounds, but its effect on electronic properties has been neglected because of difficulties in determining the ordered structure and defect energetics. An absence of rational understanding of the point defects present has led to poor reproducibility and uncontrolled conduction type. AgBiSe2 is a representative compound that suffers from poor reproducibility of thermoelectric properties, while the origins of its intrinsic n-type conductivity remain speculative. Here, it is demonstrated that cation disordering is facilitated by BiAg charged antisite defects in cubic AgBiSe2 which also act as a principal donor defect that greatly controls the electronic properties. Using density functional theory calculations and in situ Raman spectroscopy, how saturation annealing with selenium vapor can stabilize p-type conductivity in cubic AgBiSe2 alloyed with SnSe at high temperatures is elucidated. With stable and controlled hole concentration, a peak is observed in the weighted mobility and the density-of-states effective mass in AgBiSnSe3 , implying an increased valley degeneracy in this system. These findings corroborate the importance of considering the defect energetics for exploring the dopability of ternary thermoelectric chalcogenides and engineering electronic bands by controlling self-doping.

Abstract
Finding a way to interlink heat transport with the crystal structure and order/disorder phenomena is crucial for designing materials with ultralow lattice thermal conductivity. Here, we revisit the crystal structure and explore the thermoelectric properties of several compounds from the family of the filled β-Mn-type phases M 2/n n+Ga6Te10 (M = Pb, Sn, Ca, Na, Na + Ag). The strongly disturbed thermal transport observed in the investigated materials originates from a three-dimensional Te-Ga network with lone-pair-like interactions, which results in large variations of the Ga-Te and M-Te interatomic distances and substantial anharmonic effects. In the particular case of NaAgGa6Te10, the additional presence of different cations leads to bonding inhomogeneity and strong structural disorder, resulting in a dramatically low lattice thermal conductivity (∼0.25 Wm-1 K-1 at 298 K), being the lowest among the reported β-Mn-type phases. This study offers a way to develop materials with ultralow lattice thermal conductivity by considering bonding inhomogeneity and lone-pair-like interactions.

Abstract
Efficient manipulation of thermal conductivity and fundamental understanding of the microscopic mechanisms of phonon scattering in crystalline solids are crucial to achieve high thermoelectric performance. Thermoelectric energy conversion directly and reversibly converts between heat and electricity and is a promising renewable technology to generate electricity by recovering waste heat and improve solid-state refrigeration. However, a unique challenge in thermal transport needs to be addressed to achieve high thermoelectric performance: the requirement of crystalline materials with ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (κL). A plethora of strategies have been developed to lower κL in crystalline solids by means of nanostructural modifications, introduction of intrinsic or extrinsic phonon scattering centers with tailored shape and dimension, and manipulation of defects and disorder. Recently, intrinsic local lattice distortion and lattice anharmonicity originating from various mechanisms such as rattling, bonding heterogeneity, and ferroelectric instability have found popularity. In this Perspective, we outline the role of manipulation of chemical bonding and structural chemistry on thermal transport in various high-performance thermoelectric materials. We first briefly outline the fundamental aspects of κL and discuss the current status of the popular phonon scattering mechanisms in brief. Then we discuss emerging new ideas with examples of crystal structure and lattice dynamics in exemplary materials.

Abstract
Understanding the correlations of both the local and global structures with lattice dynamics is critical for achieving low lattice thermal conductivity (κlat ) in crystalline materials. Herein, we demonstrate local cationic off-centring within the global rock-salt structure of AgSbSe2 by using synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function analysis and unravel the origin of its ultralow κlat ≈0.4 W mK-1 at 300 K. The cations are locally off-centered along the crystallographic ⟨ 100 ⟩ direction by about ≈0.2 Å, which averages out as the rock-salt structure on the global scale. Phonon dispersion obtained by density functional theory (DFT) shows weak instabilities that cause local off-centering distortions within an anharmonic double-well potential. The local structural distortion arises from the stereochemically active 5s2 lone pairs of Sb. Our findings open an avenue for understanding how the local structure influences the phonon transport and facilitates the design of next-generation crystalline materials with tailored thermal properties.

Abstract
A new quaternary telluride, Ba4Ge2Sb2Te10, was synthesized at high temperature via the reaction of elements. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study shows that the title compound crystallizes in its own structure type in the monoclinic P21/c space group having cell dimensions of a = 13.984(3) Å, b = 13.472(3) Å, c = 13.569(3) Å, and β = 90.16(3)° with four formula units per unit cell (Z = 4). The pseudo-one-dimensional crystal structure of Ba4Ge2Sb2Te10 consists of infinite 1∞[Ge2Sb2Te10]8- stripes, which are separated by Ba2+ cations. Each of the Ge(1) atoms is covalently bonded to four Te atoms, whereas the Ge(2) atom is covalently bonded with one Sb(2) and three Te atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The title compound is the first example of a chalcogenide that shows Ge-Sb bonding. The Sb(1) atom is present at the center of the seesaw geometry of four Te atoms. In contrast, the Sb(2) atom forms a seesaw geometry by coordinating with one Ge(2) and three Te atoms. Condensation of these Ge and Sb centered polyhedral units lead to the formation of 1∞[Ge2Sb2Te10]8- stripes. The temperature-dependent resistivity study suggests the semimetallic/degenerate semiconducting nature of polycrystalline Ba4Ge2Sb2Te10. The positive sign of Seebeck coefficient values indicates that the predominant charge carriers are holes in Ba4Ge2Sb2Te10. An extremely low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.34 W/mK at 773 K was observed for polycrystalline Ba4Ge2Sb2Te10, which is presumably due to the lattice anharmonicity induced by the stereochemically active 5s2 lone pair of Sb. The electronic structure of Ba4Ge2Sb2Te10 and the bonding of atom pairs in the structure have been analyzed by means of ELF analysis and crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) analysis.

Abstract
The structural transformation generally occurs from lower symmetric to higher symmetric structure on heating. However, the formation of locally broken asymmetric phases upon warming has been evidenced in PbQ (Q = S, Se, Te), a rare phenomenon called emphanisis, which has significant effect on their thermal transport and thermoelectric properties. (SnSe)0.5(AgSbSe2)0.5 crystallizes in rock-salt cubic average structure, with the three cations occupying the same Wycoff site (4a) and Se in the anion position (Wycoff site, 4b). Using synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function (X-PDF) analysis, herein, we show the gradual deviation of the local structure of (SnSe)0.5(AgSbSe2)0.5 from the overall cubic rock-salt structure with warming, resembling emphanisis. The local structural analysis indicates that Se atoms remain in off-centered position by a magnitude of ∼0.25 Å at 300 K along the [111] direction and the magnitude of this distortion is found to increase with temperature resulting in three short and three long M-Se bonds (M = Sn/Ag/Sb) within the average rock-salt lattice. This hinders phonon propagation and lowers the lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) to 0.49-0.39 W/(m·K) in the 295-725 K range. Analysis of phonons based on density functional theory (DFT) reveals significant soft modes with high anharmonicity which involve localized Ag and Se vibrations primarily. Emphanisis induced low κlat and favorable electronic structure with multiple valence band extrema within close energy concurrently give rise to a promising thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) of 1.05 at 706 K in p-type carrier optimized Ge doped new rock-salt phase of (SnSe)0.5(AgSbSe2)0.5.

Abstract
The reaction of MnTe with AgSbTe2 in an equimolar ratio (ATMS) provides a new semiconductor, AgMnSbTe3. AgMnSbTe3 crystallizes in an average rock-salt NaCl structure with Ag, Mn, and Sb cations statistically occupying the Na sites. AgMnSbTe3 is a p-type semiconductor with a narrow optical band gap of ∼0.36 eV. A pair distribution function analysis indicates that local distortions are associated with the location of the Ag atoms in the lattice. Density functional theory calculations suggest a specific electronic band structure with multi-peak valence band maxima prone to energy convergence. In addition, Ag2Te nanograins precipitate at grain boundaries of AgMnSbTe3. The energy offset of the valence band edge between AgMnSbTe3 and Ag2Te is ∼0.05 eV, which implies that Ag2Te precipitates exhibit a negligible effect on the hole transmission. As a result, ATMS exhibits a high power factor of ∼12.2 μW cm-1 K-2 at 823 K, ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.34 W m-1 K-1 (823 K), high peak ZT of ∼1.46 at 823 K, and high average ZT of ∼0.87 in the temperature range of 400-823 K.

Abstract
Thermoelectric materials which can convert heat energy to electricity rely on crystalline inorganic solid state compounds exhibiting low phonon transport (i.e. low thermal conductivity) without much inhibiting the electrical transport. Suppression of phonons traditionally has been carried out via extrinsic pathways, involving formation of point defects, foreign nanostructures, and meso-scale grains, but the incorporation of extrinsic substituents also influences the electrical properties. Crystalline materials with intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) provide an attractive paradigm as it helps in simplifying the complex interrelated thermoelectric parameters and allows us to focus largely on improving the electronic properties. In this feature article, we have discussed the chemical bonding and structural aspects in determining phonon transport through a crystalline material. We have outlined how the inherent material properties like lone pair, bonding anharmonicity, presence of intrinsic rattlers, ferroelectric instability, weak and rigid substructures, etc. influence in effectively suppressing the heat transport. The strategies summarized in this feature article should serve as a general guide to rationally design and predict materials with low κlat for potential thermoelectric applications.

Abstract
The correlation between structure and function lies at the heart of materials science and engineering. Especially, modern functional materials usually contain inhomogeneities at an atomic level, endowing them with interesting properties regarding electrons, phonons, and magnetic moments. Over the past few decades, many of the key developments in functional materials have been driven by the rapid advances in short-range crystallographic techniques. Among them, pair distribution function (PDF) technique, capable of utilizing the entire Bragg and diffuse scattering signals, stands out as a powerful tool for detecting local structure away from average. With the advent of synchrotron X-rays, spallation neutrons, and advanced computing power, the PDF can quantitatively encode a local structure and in turn guide atomic-scale engineering in the functional materials. Here, the PDF investigations in a range of functional materials are reviewed, including ferroelectrics/thermoelectrics, colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) magnets, high-temperature superconductors (HTSC), quantum dots (QDs), nano-catalysts, and energy storage materials, where the links between functions and structural inhomogeneities are prominent. For each application, a brief description of the structure-function coupling will be given, followed by selected cases of PDF investigations. Before that, an overview of the theory, methodology, and unique power of the PDF method will be also presented.

Abstract
Transition-metal-based chalcogenides are a series of intriguing semiconductors with applications spanning various fields because of their rich structure and numerous functionalities. This paper reports the crystal structure and basic physical properties of a new quaternary chalcogenide In4Pb5.5Sb5S19. The crystal structure of In4Pb5.5Sb5S19 was determined by both powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. In4Pb5.5Sb5S19 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with I2/m space group, and the structure parameters are a = 26.483 Å, b = 3.899 Å, c = 32.696 Å, and β = 111.86°. The polyhedral double chains of Sb3+ and Sb/Pb2+ as the main cations are parallel to each other and form a Jamesonite-like mineral structure through the short chain links of the distorted In, Pb, and Sb polyhedron. In4Pb5.5Sb5S19 exhibits a moderate experimental band gap of 1.42 eV, indicating its potential for application in solar cells and photocatalysis. In addition, In4Pb5.5Sb5S19 exhibits good ambient stability, and differential scanning calorimetry tests demonstrate that it is stable up to 892 K in a nitrogen atmosphere. Moreover, In4Pb5.5Sb5S19 exhibits extremely low thermal conductivity (0.438-0.478 W m-1 K-1 ranging from 300 to 700 K) compared with binary counterparts such as PbS and In2S3. Future chemical manipulation via elemental doping or defect engineering may make the title compound a potential thermoelectric or thermal insulating material.

Abstract
The presence of lone pair (LP) electrons is strongly associated with the disruption of lattice heat transport, which is a critical component of strategies to achieve efficient thermoelectric energy conversion. By exploiting an empirical relationship between lattice thermal conductivity, κL, and the bond angles of pnictogen group LP cation coordination environments, we develop an inverse design strategy based on a materials database screening to identify chalcogenide materials with ultralow κL for thermoelectrics. Screening the ∼635 000 real and hypothetical inorganic crystals of the Open Quantum Materials Database based on the constituent elements, nominal electron counting, LP cation coordination environment, and synthesizability, we identify 189 compounds expected to exhibit ultralow κL. As a validation, we explicitly compute the lattice dynamical properties of two of the compounds (Cu2AgBiPbS4 and MnTl2As2S5) using first-principles calculations and successfully find both achieve ultralow κL values at room temperature of ∼0.3-0.4 W/(m·K) corresponding to the amorphous limit. Our data-driven approach provides promising candidates for thermoelectric materials and opens new avenues for the design of phononic properties of materials.

Abstract
An efficient approach to improve the thermoelectric performance of materials is to converge their electronic bands, which is known as band engineering. In this regard, lots of effort has been made to further improve the thermoelectric efficiency of bulk and exfoliated monolayers of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3. However, ultrahigh band degeneracy and thus significant improvement of the power factor have not yet been realized in these materials. Using first-principles methods, we demonstrate that the valley degeneracy of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 can be largely improved upon substitution of the middle-layer Te atoms with the more electronegative S or Se atoms. Our detailed analysis reveals that in this family of materials, two out of four possible valence band valleys merely depend on the electronegativity of the middle-layer chalcogen atoms, which makes the independent modulation of the valleys' position feasible. As such, band alignment of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 largely improves upon substitution of the middle-layer Te atoms with more electronegative, yet chemically similar, S and Se ones. A superior valence band alignment is attained in Sb2Te2Se monolayers where three out of four possible valleys are well aligned, resulting in a giant band degeneracy of 18 that holds the record among all thermoelectric materials. As a result, an outstanding power factor for the hole-doped monolayers is achieved, indicating a highly efficient p-type thermoelectric material.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanism that correlates phonon transport with chemical bonding and solid-state structure is the key to envisage and develop materials with ultralow thermal conductivity, which are essential for efficient thermoelectrics and thermal barrier coatings. We synthesized thallium selenide (TlSe), which is comprised of intertwined stiff and weakly bonded substructures and exhibits intrinsically ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (κL) of 0.62-0.4 W/mK in the range 295-525 K. Ultralow κL of TlSe is a result of its low energy optical phonon modes which strongly interact with the heat carrying acoustic phonons. Low energy optical phonons of TlSe are associated with the intrinsic rattler-like vibration of Tl+ cations in the cage constructed by the chains of (TlSe2)nn-, as evident in low temperature heat capacity, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, and temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy. Density functional theoretical analysis reveals the bonding hierarchy in TlSe which involves ionic interaction in Tl+-Se while Tl3+-Se bonds are covalent, which causes significant lattice anharmonicity and intrinsic rattler-like low energy vibrations of Tl+, resulting in ultralow κL.

Abstract
Identifying materials with good electron transport and poor thermal transport properties for thermoelectric applications has been challenging. Here we report a series of new materials including Tl3TaSe4 and Tl3VS4 with promising thermoelectric properties giving thermoelectric figure of merit, zT ≈ 0.8 at room temperature using first-principles calculations. This high zT stems from the high electrical conductivity and ultralow thermal conductivity (κ). We calculate κ ≈ 0.1-0.2 W/m·K from a phonon Boltzmann's transport equation and κ ≈ 0.3-0.4 W/m·K from the two-channel model. Low phonon group velocities due to weakly bonded Tl atoms and strong anharmonicity associated with s2 lone electrons pair give rise to such a low κ in these systems.

Abstract
Silver bismuth diselenide (AgBiSe2) is an n-type thermoelectric material that exhibits a complex structural phase transition from the hexagonal to cubic phase, while silver antimony diselenide (AgSbSe2) is a p-type thermoelectric material that crystallizes in the cubic phase at all temperatures. Here, we investigate the crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of Ag(Bi,Sb)Se2 solid solution, employing AgBi0.9Sb0.1Se2 and AgBi0.7Sb0.3Se2 as representative samples. The carrier polarity of AgBi0.9Sb0.1Se2 is converted from the n-type to p-type by Pb doping, accompanied by a polymorphic change to the cubic phase. It is difficult to obtain highly conductive p-type hexagonal AgBiSe2-based materials, although first-principles calculations predict high-performance thermoelectric properties for these systems. We also demonstrate that cubic AgBi0.7Sb0.3Se2 undergoes a polymorphic change to the hexagonal phase upon Nb doping. The present study show that polymorphic changes inevitably occurred upon Pb/Nb doping to optimize thermoelectric properties of Ag(Bi,Sb)Se2 solid solution.
