Key parameters for enhancing the thermoelectric power factor of PEDOT:PSS/PANI-CSA multilayer thin films.

ABSTRACT: Among the conducting polymers, poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) has been extensively investigated for organic thermoelectric device applications owing to its high electrical conductivity (σ), flexibility and easy processability. The thermoelectric (TE) power factor - a factor that determines the efficiency of a thermoelectric material, is very critical in developing high-efficiency thermoelectric devices. The TE power factor of PEDOT:PSS requires further enhancement in realizing efficient organic TE devices. Recently, we have reported a layer-by-layer deposition technique to deposit PEDOT:PSS and poly aniline-camphor sulfonic acid (PANI-CSA) forming a PEDOT:PSS/PANI-CSA multilayer (ML) thin film structure with an enhanced thermoelectric power facto
