Electrical and Thermoelectric Properties of Poly(2,7-Carbazole) Derivatives
2009
A series of alternating poly(2,7-carbazole) derivatives have been synthesized. The evaluation of their thermoelectric properties in doped films revealed high electrical conductivity (up to 500 S/cm) and a relatively high Seebeck coefficient (up to 70 μV/K). The best compromise between these two thermoelectric parameters led to a maximum value of 19 μW m−1 K−2 as the power factor. As observed from X-ray analyses, it has been observed that the high electrical conductivity was obtained with structured polymers. Good air stability was also observed with these thermoelectric polymers.
