Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The thermoelectric properties of monolayer Tl 2 O are studied using first-principles calculations with all involved electrical and thermal transport properties calculated in the parameter-free frameworks. It is found that monolayer Tl 2 O possesses remarkably high thermoelectric figure of merit, z T, due to its ultralow lattice thermal conductivity and fairly good power factor. The room temperature z T can be as high as 1.4 and 1.2 for n- and p-type systems, respectively, whereas the maximum z T values can reach up to 5.3 and 4.2 as the temperature increases to 800 K. In addition, it is clarified that the mobilities of monolayer Tl 2 O are orders of magnitude smaller than previous estimation from simplified semiempirical models. The room temperature electron and hole mobilities are only about 56 and 11 cm 2 V - 1 s - 1, respectively, due to the heavy effective mass along with strong polar optical phonons coupling scattering. Nonetheless, the intrinsically ultrahigh z T from entire first-principles calculations stimulate that the further experimental verification and exploration for practical application are worthwhile.
