Simultaneous Increase in Seebeck Coefficient and Conductivity in a Doped Poly(alkylthiophene) Blend with Defined Density of States
Abstract
The Seebeck coefficient, a defining parameter for thermoelectric materials, depends on the contributions to conductivity of charge carriers at energies away from the Fermi level. Highly conductive materials tend to exhibit conductivity from carriers close to the Fermi level. In this article, we propose polymer blends in which ground state hole carriers, created by doping a minor additive component, are mainly at an orbital energy set below the hole energy of the major component of the blend. Transport, however, is expected to occur through the major component. This leads to a regime in which hole conductivity and Seebeck coefficient may be increased in parallel. While the absolute conductivity of the composite, and thus ZT, are not particularly high, this work demonstrates a route for designing thermoelectric materials in which increases in Seebeck coefficient and conductivity do not cancel each other.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
