ABSTRACT
N-Type thermoelectrics typically consist of small molecule dopant+polymer host. Only a few polymer dopant+polymer host systems have been reported, and these have lower thermoelectric parameters. N-type polymers with high crystallinity and order are generally used for high-conductivity ( σ ${\sigma }$ ) organic conductors. Few n-type polymers with only short-range lamellar stacking for high-conductivity materials have been reported. Here, we describe an n-type short-range lamellar-stacked all-polymer thermoelectric system with highest σ ${\sigma }$ of 78â
S-1 , power factor (PF) of 163â
µW m-1 K-2 , and maximum Figure of merit (ZT) of 0.53 at room temperature with a dopant/host ratio of 75â
wt%. The minor effect of polymer dopant on the molecular arrangement of conjugated polymer PDPIN at high ratios, high doping capability, high Seebeck coefficient (S) absolute values relative to σ ${\sigma }$ , and atypical decreased thermal conductivity ( κ ${\kappa }$ ) with increased doping ratio contribute to the promising performance.
