Thermoelectric materials are best known for their prowess to transform the environment’s waste heat into electricity. In an endeavor to explore new thermoelectric prospects; in the present study; we investigate K 2 AuBi using density functional theory-based first-principles simulations. From our simulations; we find an intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity of 0.43 W m − 1 K − 1 at 300 K in K 2 AuBi. Based on our detailed analysis; we find the reasons for such a low value of lattice thermal conductivity as; low phonon group velocities; short phonon lifetimes; anharmonicity in the lattice vibrations; and significant mean square displacements of K and Au atoms. The large mean square displacements hint at weak bonding and anharmonicity in the lattice vibrations; favoring more phonons scattering. We also find that the vibrations of K-atoms can be related to rattlers; conducive to low lattice thermal conductivity. Our simulations predict a high value; ∼ 784 μ V K − 1; of Seebeck coefficient at 700 K on account of the large density of states in the vicinity of Fermi level. Combining our computed lattice thermal conductivity with electrical transport properties; we obtain a high figure of merit; Z T ∼ 1.04; at 700 K in K 2 AuBi. © 2024 Author(s);
