Synergistically Boosting Thermoelectric Performance of PEDOT:PSS/SWCNT Composites via the Ion-Exchange Effect and Promoting SWCNT Dispersion by the Ionic Liquid

Wenjiang Deng et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the synergistic enhancement of thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS/SWCNT composites by ionic liquid. The ionic liquid plays a crucial role in inducing phase separation of PEDOT:PSS, promoting a linear quinoid conformation of PEDOT, and dispersing SWCNT, resulting in a significantly higher power factor of the composites.

Carrier and phonon transport control by domain engineering for high-performance transparent thin film thermoelectric generator

Takafumi Ishibe et al.

Summary: Domain engineering on low symmetry substrates enhances carrier mobility and reduces defect density between crystal domains in transparent epitaxial SnO2 films. Films on r-Al2O3 exhibit higher thermoelectric power factor and mobility compared to those on c-Al2O3, potentially due to the differences in defect density.

Demonstration of ultrahigh thermoelectric efficiency of ∼7.3% in Mg3Sb2/MgAgSb module for low-temperature energy harvesting

Zihang Liu et al.

Summary: Researchers have made significant advancements in thermoelectric materials by adding minor amounts of Cu to the Mg3Sb1.5Bi0.5 system, leading to improved thermoelectric performance and reduced thermal conductivity. Through grain-boundary engineering, the detrimental effects of thermally activated electrical conductivity were successfully eliminated. The fabricated thermoelectric module, when combined with a p-type alpha-MgAgSb-based material, showed promising potential for low-temperature thermoelectric harvesting.

Flexible poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-tosylate/SWCNT composite films with ultrahigh electrical conductivity for thermoelectric energy harvesting

Lirong Liang et al.

Summary: Organic conductive polymer/carbon nanoparticle thermoelectric composites have attracted attention due to their promising structural and electrical characteristics. By combining chemical oxidative polymerization, acid-treatment of SWCNT, and vacuum filtration, flexible films of PEDOT-Tos/a-SWCNT composites with enhanced TE performance were fabricated. The layered morphology and strong pi-pi interactions between polymer chains and SWCNT contribute to a highly conductive network, while the acid-treatment acts as p-type doping for SWCNT to achieve high electrical conductivity. This study demonstrates the potential for polymer-based composites in TE applications.
