AbstractLow-dimensional materials have recently attracted much interest as thermoelectric materials because of their charge carrier confinement leading to thermoelectric performance enhancement. Carbon nanotubes are promising candidates because of their one-dimensionality in addition to their unique advantages such as flexibility and light weight. However, preserving the large power factor of individual carbon nanotubes in macroscopic assemblies has been challenging, primarily due to poor sample morphology and a lack of proper Fermi energy tuning. Here, we report an ultrahigh value of power factor (14 ± 5 mW m−1 K−2) for macroscopic weavable fibers of aligned carbon nanotubes with ultrahigh electrical and thermal conductivity. The observed giant power factor originates from the ultrahigh electrical conductivity achieved through excellent sample morphology, combined with an enhanced Seebeck coefficient through Fermi energy tuning. We fabricate a textile thermoelectric generator based on these carbon nanotube fibers, which demonstrates high thermoelectric performance, weavability, and scalability. The giant power factor we observe make these fibers strong candidates for the emerging field of thermoelectric active cooling, which requires a large thermoelectric power factor and a large thermal conductivity at the same time.

Polyacrylamide Gel Method

A series of polycrystalline (Ca1-xBix)3Co4O9 ( x = 0.0 ~ 0.075 ) powders were synthesized rapidly by a polyacrylamide gel method. The dense ceramics were fabricated using the spark plasma sintering ( SPS ) technique. Effects of Bi substitution on high temperature thermoelectric properties of Ca3Co4O9 were evaluated. Both the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient increased with increasing Bi content up to x = 0.05, thus leading to an enhanced thermoelectric power factor. The Bi substituted sample with x = 0.05 obtained in this study has the highest thermoelectric power factor in the measured temperature range. It reaches 4.810-4 Wm-1K-2 at 700 °C, which is 26 % higher than that of Ca3Co4O9 without Bi substitution, and is by up to 15 % larger as compared to the Bi substituted sample synthesized by the solid state reaction method and the SPS technique due to the high chemical homogeneous powder prepared by the polyacrylamide gel method.
