We explore the effect of charge density wave (CDW) on the in-plane thermoelectric transport properties of (PbSe)_1+δ(VSe₂)₁ and (PbSe)_1+δ(VSe₂)₂ heterostructures. In (PbSe)_1+δ(VSe₂)₁ we observe an abrupt 86% increase in the Seebeck coefficient, 245% increase in the power factor, and a slight decrease in resistivity over the CDW transition. This behavior is not observed in (PbSe)_1+δ(VSe₂)₂ and is rather unusual compared to the general trend observed in other materials. The abrupt transition causes a deviation from the Mott relationship through correlated electron states. Raman spectra of the (PbSe)_1+δ(VSe₂)₁ material show the emergence of additional peaks below the CDW transition temperature associated with VSe₂ material. Temperature-dependent in-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra show a change in the in-plane thermal expansion of VSe₂ in (PbSe)_1+δ(VSe₂)₁ due to lattice distortion. Here, the increase in the power factor and decrease in the resistivity due to CDW suggest a potential mechanism for enhancing the thermoelectric performance at the low temperature region.
