Thermoelectric properties of conjugated polymers are found to improve upon homogeneously distributing conjugated polymer into an insulating supporting matrix. The local one-dimensional charge transport along the interpenetration conductive network simultaneously leads to lower thermal conductivity, higher electrical conductivity without sacrifice of Seebeck coefficient, and thus a higher figure of merit ZT, as compared with neat conjugated polymer.
共轭聚合物的热电性能通过将共轭聚合物均匀分布在绝缘支撑基质中而得到改善。沿互穿导电网络的局部一维电荷输运同时导致更低的热导率、更高的电导率,而不会牺牲 Seebeck 系数,从而与纯共轭聚合物相比具有更高的品质因数 ZT。
