講座簡介：
Thermoelectric materials can directly convert heat into electricity. There is abundant of low-grade heat on earth but most of them are dissipated to ambient environment as waste heat. The conventional thermoelectric materials are inorganic semiconductors and semi-metals. But those inorganic materials have problems of scarce elements, high cost, high toxicity and poor mechanical flexibility. Thus, thermoelectric polymers have been gaining more and more attention because they consists of common elements like C, O, S and H and have merits of low density, low cost, low thermal conductivity and high mechanical flexibility. In particular, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is very promising as the next-generation thermoelectric material because of its addition merit of solution processability. PEDOT:PSS can be dispersed in water and some polar organic solvents, and high-quality PEDOT:PSS films can be readily prepared by solution processing techniques like coating and printing. The main problem for thermoelectric polymers is their low power factor. It is important to develop novel methods to enhance the thermoelectric properties. Here, I will present a couple of methods to significantly enhance the conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient thus the power factor of PEDOT:PSS. The power factor can be >700 W/(m K2), and the ZT value can be as 0.75. In addition, I will present some of our recent works on developing quasi-solid state ionogels with high thermoelectric properties.
