Completely Organic Multilayer Thin Film with Thermoelectric Power Factor Rivaling Inorganic Tellurides

Abstract: Composed exclusively of organic components, polyaniline (PANi), graphene, and double-walled nanotubes (DWNTs) are alternately deposited from aqueous solutions using a layer-by-layer assembly. The 40 quadlayer thin film (470 nm thick) exhibits electrical conductivity of 1.08 × 10(5) S m(-1) and a Seebeck coefficient of 130 μV K(-1) , producing a thermoelectric power factor of 1825 μW m(-1) K(-2) .

“…[3][4][5][6] One key advantage of this class of materials is their amenability to solution processing, and thus potential for roll-to-roll upscaling. [ 7,8 ] The fully lowcost potential relies, however, on achieving realistic performance while keeping the processing schemes simple, including patterning of different materials.…”

“…Here we show that combining a p-type semiconducting polymer with nitrogen doped n-type multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) structures. [ 3 ] While these strategies have thus far worked relatively well for p-type materials, examples of air-stable, solution processable, n-type organic materials are scarce. For example, extrinsic doping of an n-type polymer in vacuum has proven to be ineffi cient due to large scale phase segregation.…”

“…The high-speed carrier-moving channel, obtained by conformation of PANI chains, increased the electrical conductivity while preserving the low thermal conductivity. Recent studies have reported that CPs with carbon-based nanomaterials (CNTs, graphene and graphene nanoplates) can effectively increase the power factor [179,353,[355][356][357]. For example, nanointerfaces between the PANI and CNTs can enhance the size-dependent energy-filtering effect [362] and the π-π conjugation interactions between the PANI and CNTs would increase carrier mobility [354].…”

“…45 On the other hand, CNTs and graphene have also been explored to enhance the TE performance of conducting polymers due to their extremely high carrier mobility and unique electronic structures. 46,47 In this manner, nanocomposites have been used to channel the loss in effective efficiency by optimizing thermal conductivity.…”
