The structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of ternary CaBe 2 X 2  (X = N, P, As, Sb and Bi) have been investigated comprehensively for the first time using density functional theory. All the compounds are optimized to obtain their ground states. Computed structural parameters agree to the available experimental results. Electronic band structure calculations reveal the semiconducting nature of the compounds, while bang gap decreases by changing the anion X from N to Bi the band gap decreases. In the valence band, major contribution is due to X- p  state, while in conduction band (CB) the major contribution is mainly due to the Ca- d  state. Furthermore, electron charge density plots reveal ionic bonding character with small covalent bonding. Optical properties are calculated in detail. Static value of refractive index shows inverse variation with band gap. The refractive indices of these compounds are high in the infrared region and gradually decreased in the visible and ultraviolet region. The thermoelectric properties are studied using Boltzmann statistics through BoltzTraP code. High optical conductivity peaks and figure of merits (ZT) for compounds reveal that they are good candidates for the optoelectronics and thermo-electric devices.
