Maximum Power Factor

Composite films of indacenodithiophene-bezothiadazole copolymers bearing polar side chains (P1) and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are found to show a competitive thermoelectric performance compared to their analogous polymers with aliphatic side chains (P2). The enhanced power factors could be attributed to the stronger interfacial interactions between the P1/SWCNTs compared to that of P2/SWCNTs containing the same ratio of SWCNTs. A maximum power factor of 161.34 μW m−1 K−2 was obtained for the composite films of P1/SWCNTs for a filler content of 50 wt%, which is higher than that of P2/SWCNTs (139.06 μW m−1 K−2, 50 wt%). Our work sheds light on the design of side-chains in efficient conjugated polymers/SWCNTs thermoelectric materials and contributes to the understanding of their thermoelectric properties.

Irregular Arrangement

Supercell atomic models of composite films on the basis of graphene and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with an irregular arrangement of SWCNTs were built. It is revealed that composite films of this type have a semiconducting type of conductivity and are characterized by the presence of an energy gap of 0.43–0.73 eV. It was found that the absorption spectrum of composite films contained specific peaks in a wide range of visible and infrared (IR) wavelengths. On the basis of calculated composite films volt-ampere characteristics (VAC), the dependence of the current flowing through the films on the distance between the nanotubes was identified. For the investigated composites, spectral dependences of the photocurrent were calculated. It was shown that depending on the distance between nanotubes, the maximum photocurrent might shift from the IR to the optical range.
