Interstitially N- and Au-doped
graphene has shown good thermoelectric performance. Charge carrier modification
plays an important role in determining the thermoelectric properties of graphene
materials. This study examines the determination of charge carrier type and
thermoelectric properties of N and Au doped graphene materials based on
computational and experimental studies. Computational studies to determine the
structure and electronic properties are based on Density Functional Theory (DFT)
using OpenMX software, while the determination of thermoelectric properties is
based on semi-classical Boltzmann theory using BoltzTraP software with
temperature setting of 200K to 700K. Experimental studies to determine
thermoelectric properties were carried out using the LSR-4 tool. The results of
computational studies show that N or Au doped graphene has a p-type charge
carrier character. The Seebeck coefficient (S) of 6.25% N and 50% N doped graphene
increased 3 and 5.5 times higher than that of pure graphene. The figure of
merit ZT value of N-doped graphene also increases compared to pristine graphene,
which increased to 0.98 and 1.00 for N concentrations of 6.25% and 50% compared
to the ZT value of pristine graphene which is 0.81. The results of this
computational study are in accordance with the results of experimental studies
which show that the increasing in N doping or Au doping concentration also
results in an increasing in the Seebeck coefficient and PF over the entire temperature
range. This is because the presence of doping has increased the concentration
of charge carriers and enhanced band degeneracy to increase the effective mass
of charge carriers around the Fermi level which contributes to the conduction
process. This computational and experimental study shows that N- and Au-doped graphene
has promising potential for thermoelectric applications and provides insight
into the underlying physics of the determination of thermoelectric properties
of doped graphene materials.
