First-principles investigation of structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of Li2X (X = Te, Se, S) chalcogenides for energy and optoelectronic applications
The structural, electronic, optical, elastic, and thermoelectric properties of Li2X (X = S, Se, Te) chalcogenides were systematically investigated using density functional theory. Volume-energy analysis via Birch-Murnaghan fitting reveals that Li2S exhibits the greatest structural stability. The bandgaps decrease from Li2S (∼3.2 eV) to Li2Se (∼1.8 eV) and Li2Te (∼1.0 eV), correlating with lattice constants and chalcogen mass. Li2Te’s narrow direct bandgap and strong hybridization suggest thermoelectric potential, while Li2Se is promising for optoelectronics. Li2S, with a wide bandgap and high ionic conductivity, is ideal for optical and solid-state electrolyte applications. Elastic analysis shows Li2Se is the stiffest and most ductile, while Li2Te and Li2S show greater anisotropy. Optical results confirm that heavier chalcogens enhance reflectivity and metallicity, whereas lighter ones promote insulating behavior. These findings demonstrate the tunability of Li2X compounds for diverse energy and electronic applications.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
