ZT > 0.1 Electron-Carrying Polymer Thermoelectric Composites with In Situ SnCl₂ Microstructure Growth.

ABSTRACT: An n-type pyromellitic diimide polymer composite with in situ microstructure growth of the common element compound SnCl₂ reaches power factor of 50-100 μW m^-1 K^-2, the highest purely n-type polymer composite power factor yet reported. The composite has a gigantic Seebeck coefficient between -4000 and -5000 μV K^-1, many times higher than other polymer composites.
