An Emerging Liquid-Crystalline Conducting Polymer Thermoelectrics: Opportunities and Challenges (IMAGE)
Caption
- Poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (PBTTT) synthesis and main strategies to enhance its thermoelectric performance (including doping, composite engineering and aggregation state controlling) are comprehensively reviewed.
- The thermoelectric performances of PBTTT-related materials are systematically summarized and compared.
- Future opportunities of PBTTT thermoelectric performance enhancement and effective utilization of its unique melt processibility in multiscale regulation, composite and hybrid, and processing technology innovation are outlooked.
