Characterization of thermoelectric and thermogravimetric properties of conductive PEDOT:PSS films blended with SWCNTs and PVA
2019
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) filler to form composites with thermoelectric properties. Studied samples were obtained by drop coating and solution casting methods. Thermoelectric measurements of PEDOT:PSS demonstrated that the addition of 5 wt. % SWCNTs increased the Seebeck coefficient value from 8.0 μV/K to 23.6 μV/K, while in the case of PEDOT:PSS/PVA blended with 5 wt. % SWCNT Seebeck coefficient value of 20.3 μV/K was achieved. Thermogravimetric analysis showed slight SWCNT effect on thermal stability of the investigated systems.
Growth mechanisms and related thermoelectric properties of innovative hybrid networks fabricated by direct deposition of Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te3 on multiwa…
2020
Abstract Flexible thermoelectric generators are an emerging trend in the field of waste heat conversion, as well as wearable and autonomous devices. However, the energy conversion efficiency of the state-of-the-art flexible thermoelectric devices is too low for their wide application and commercialization. In this work, n- and p-type multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-thermoelectric material hybrid networks that may become a promising building block for the fabrication of flexible thermoelectric devices are presented. The hybrid networks were fabricated by direct deposition of thermoelectric material (Bi2Se3, Sb2Te3) on the MWCNT networks using physical vapor deposition technique. Growth m…
Structure and Doping Determined Thermoelectric Properties of Bi2Se3Thin Films Deposited by Vapour–Solid Technique
2019
In this work, a simple catalyst-free vapour-solid deposition method was applied for controlled deposition of two types (planar and disordered) of continuous Bi 2 Se 3 nanostructured thin films on different (fused quartz/glass, mica, graphene) substrates. Characterisation of electron transport (type, concentration and mobility of the main charge carriers) and thermoelectric properties (Seebeck coefficient and power factor) showed that proposed in this work deposition method allows to obtain Bi 2 Se 3 thin films with power factor comparable and even higher than reported for the Bi 2 Se 3 thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy technique. Power factor of the best obtained thin films can be …
Structure-determined thermoelectric properties of Bi2Se3 thin films deposited by vapour-solid technique
2018
International audience; In this work, a simple catalyst-free vapour-solid deposition method is applied for controlled obtaining of two types (planar and disordered) continuous Bi2Se3 nanostructured thin films on different (fused quartz/glass, mica, graphene) substrates. Performed for the deposited thin films transport and thermoelectric characterization (type, concentration and mobility of the main charge carriers, Seebeck coefficient and power factor) showed that proposed deposition method allows to fabricate “low-doped” Bi2Se3 thin films with power factor comparable and even higher than reported for the Bi2Se3 thin films fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy technique.
