报告简介：

Metavalent bonding (MVB) describes a unique, half-filled σ-bond characterized by a single electron between adjacent atoms. This bond is defined by a competition between electron localization and delocalization, granting metavalent solids properties like moderate electrical conductivity, high optical dielectric constant, large Born effective charge, and strong lattice anharmonicity. These features are ideal for thermoelectrics, which require high electrical conductivity, a high Seebeck coefficient, and low thermal conductivity. A chemical bonding map, based on quantum mechanics, can classify bonding types and guides the discovery of new thermoelectric materials. Moreover, the thermoelectric performance of metavalent solids can be tailored by doping, which adjusts electronic states or microstructures, providing additional ways to control electron and phonon transport. Lastly, tailoring MVB at defects like grain boundaries presents new opportunities for thermoelectric design. Overall, MVB offers significant potential for breakthroughs in thermoelectric materials.
