Completely Organic Multilayer Thin Film with Thermoelectric Power Factor Rivaling Inorganic Tellurides

Composed exclusively of organic components, polyaniline (PANi), graphene, and double‐walled nanotubes (DWNTs) are alternately deposited from aqueous solutions using a layer‐by‐layer assembly. The 40 quadlayer thin film (470 nm thick) exhibits electrical conductivity of 1.08 × 105 S m−1 and a Seebeck...

Summary:Composed exclusively of organic components, polyaniline (PANi), graphene, and double‐walled nanotubes (DWNTs) are alternately deposited from aqueous solutions using a layer‐by‐layer assembly. The 40 quadlayer thin film (470 nm thick) exhibits electrical conductivity of 1.08 × 105 S m−1 and a Seebeck coefficient of 130 μV K−1, producing a thermoelectric power factor of 1825 μW m−1 K−2.
