Conjugated polymers have attracted considerable attention as key materials of various organic devices because of their mechanical flexibility and compatibility with low-temperature solution processes. In recent years, they have been emerged as a new class of thermoelectric (TE) materials, thus opening new avenues for harvesting thermal energy by inexpensive and scalable routes. Here, I present 3 different types of conjugated polymer-based composite materials for use in TE applications: composites of 1) conjugated polymers and molecular dopants, 2) conjugated polymers and few-walled carbon nanotubes, and 3) conjugated polymer nanowires and thermoplastic elastomers. In the first two parts, I will discuss the doping of donor-acceptor type polymers for improving TE properties and the efficient de-bundling of few-walled carbon nanotubes. In the latter part, a strategy will be introduced to fabricate self-healable and stretchable TE materials. |
