Coordination polymers (CPs) are potential thermoelectric (TE) materials to replace the sometimes costly, brittle and toxic heavy metal inorganic TEs for near-ambient-temperature applications. Air-stable and highly conductive p-type thermoelectric CPs are relatively well known, but the their n-type counterparts are only now emerging and both are needed for most practical applications. This perspective reviews recent advances in the development of n-type thermoelectric CPs, particularly the 1D and 2D metal bisdithiolenes, and introduces a relatively new class of guest@metal-organic framework(MOF)-based composites. Low dimensional CPs with reasonable n-type thermoelectric performance are emerging with good charge mobility and air-stability but still relatively low electrical conductivity.
配位聚合物（CPs）是潜在的热电（TE）材料，可用于取代一些成本高昂、易碎且有毒的重金属无机热电材料，用于近环境温度应用。空气稳定且高导电的p型热电配位聚合物相对较为人所知，但其n型对应物才刚刚出现，而大多数实际应用都需要这两种类型。本文综述了n型热电配位聚合物，特别是一维和二维金属双硫纶的开发进展，并介绍了一类相对较新的基于客体@金属有机框架（MOF）的复合材料。具有合理n型热电性能的低维配位聚合物正在出现，具有良好的电荷迁移率和空气稳定性，但电导率仍然相对较低。
