Effect of Interfacial Properties on Polymer-Nanocrystal Thermoelectric Transport

The electrical behavior of a conducting‐polymer/inorganic‐nanowire composite is explained with a model in which carrier transport occurs predominantly through a highly conductive volume of polymer that exists at the polymer‐nanowire interface. This result highlights the importance of controlling nan...

Summary:The electrical behavior of a conducting‐polymer/inorganic‐nanowire composite is explained with a model in which carrier transport occurs predominantly through a highly conductive volume of polymer that exists at the polymer‐nanowire interface. This result highlights the importance of controlling nanoscale interfaces for thermoelectric materials, and provides a general route for improving carrier transport in organic/inorganic composites.
