▎ 摘  要

Rational design of single-molecular junction for efficient thermoelectric properties is a key prerequisite for thermoelectric conversion and fundamental challenge because of the existence of restrictive relationship be-tween Seebeck coefficient and conductance. Inspired by the promising mechanism for promoting thermoelectric properties depended on spin-filter efficiency, magnetothermoelectric properties of aluminum porphyrin (Al-porphyrin) molecular junction have been investigated in contact with ferromagnetic graphene electrodes at different temperature. It is found that spin-resolved Seebeck coefficient is larger than charge-resolved Seebeck coefficient, leading to an excellent spin-resolved power factor about 0.3 pW/K-2 at 0.25 eV for Al-porphyrin molecular junction. Ferromagnetic leads effectively realize thermal spin-filtering effect (SFE), which is induced by spin-resolved quantum interference (SQI) between graphene electrode and central nonmagnetic Al-porphyrin molecule. These results indicate the prospects of Al-porphyrin molecular junction applications in spin-caloritronics.
