First‐Principles Investigation of the Thermoelectric Behavior of the Orthorhombic Cadmium Stannate (Cd2SnO4)

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Cd2SnO4 exhibits excellent thermoelectric properties with a high Seebeck coefficient, power factor, and figure of merit, surpassing Bi2Te3. It shows both positive and negative Seebeck coefficient values, making it suitable for diverse applications. Its high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity enhance efficiency, while its negative Hall
