Thermoelectric properties of conducting polymers

According to different sources, from forty to sixty percent of the overall energy generated in the world today is squandered in waste heat. The existing energy conversion technologies are either close to their efficiency limits or too costly to justify their implementation. Therefore, the development of new technological approaches for waste heat recovery is highly demanded. The field of thermo...

Thermal sensor based on a polymer nano lm

In this work, we have developed a thermal sensor based on poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nano lms as thermoelectric material. The PEDOT nano lms have been synthesized by the electrochemical polymerization method. The thicknesses of the lms were around 120 nm. The doping level of PEDOT was controlled by chemical reduction using hydrazine. The achieved Seebeck coefficient is 40 μV/K. A ...

Influence of nonadiabatic annealing on the morphology and molecular structure of PEDOT-PSS films.

The effect of nonadiabatic annealing on poly(3,4-ethylendioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) thin films prepared on silicon substrate has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The analysis indicates the formation of an annealing-induced doping in PEDOT structure, suggesting a modification of the polymer ...

IR and electrochemical synthesis and characterization of thin films of PEDOT grown on platinum single crystal electrodes in [EMMIM]Tf2N ionic liquid

Thin films of PEDOT synthesized on platinum single electrodes in contact with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium triflimide ([EMMIM]Tf2N) were studied by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. It was found that the polymer grows faster on Pt(111) than on Pt(110) or Pt(100) and that the redox reactions associated with the PEDOT p-d...
