The thermoelectric properties of CuGaTe₂ crystal are investigated by using the first-principles method and semi-classical Boltzmann theory. We find that the electronic structure of CuGaTe₂ is favorable for p-type doping. The transport coefficients can be tuned by doping and changing the work temperature to yield an optimized thermoelectric performance. The optimal doping concentration is 2×10²⁰ cm^-3, in which the maximum ZT value can reach 1.65 at 900 K. The results suggest CuGaTe₂ might find promising applications as good thermoelectric materials, particularly at high temperature.
