Abstract: Based on first-principles methods, the effects of layer stacking on the thermal and electrical transport properties of α-structured graphyne were investigated. The results demonstrate that Ab stacking is the most stable stacking configuration for graphyne. Layer stacking at room temperature enhances the thermal conductivity of graphyne, increasing it from 5.87 W/(m·K) to 17.43 W/(m·K), thereby significantly improving its thermal transport performance. In terms of electrical properties, layer stacking opens the Dirac cone of α-graphyne, creating a small band gap and substantially enhancing its electrical transport capacity. The power factor increases from 0.011 W/(m·K2) to 0.165 W/(m·K2). The enhancement in electrical properties completely offsets the negative impact brought by the increased thermal conductivity. At this point, the maximum thermoelectric figure of merit (ZTmax) reaches 2.834, resulting in a significant enhancement of the thermoelectric conversion efficiency. These findings indicate that modulating the thermal and electrical transport properties of graphyne through layer stacking can be an effective approach.
