초록

Organic thermoelectric (TE) attracts considerable interest as a next-generation energy conversion technology; however, its practical application is still restricted by low power factors. Herein, we report a generally applicable solvent-combination doping method for improving TE properties of conjugated polymers (CPs). Residual solvents in a ternary solvent enlarged the free volume in the CP films. This beneficial effect boosted both dopant diffusion efficiency and charge carrier density in the doped films, resulting in the remarkable enhancement of electrical conductivity in the CPs. When the doped CP films processed with a ternary solvent were applied to TE devices, excellent power factors were achieved, attributed to a durable Seebeck coefficient along with ultrahigh electrical conductivity. © 2023 The Author(s)
