The p-type perovskite oxides La1-xSrxCoO3 are a promising group of complex oxide thermoelectric materials because of its higher Seebeck coefficient. In this paper, the La0.95Sr0.05CoO3 thin film was prepared by spin coating. A custom-made micro-electromechanical system based device was used to measure the voltage output and Seebeck coefficient of the thin film. The measured Seebeck coefficient of the thin film was 350 μV/K.

The P-type perovskite oxides La1-xSrxCoO3 are a promising group of complex oxide thermoelectric (TE) materials because of its a higher Seebeck coefficient. In this paper, the La0.95Sr0.05CoO3 thin film was prepared by spin coating. A custom-made MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) based device was used to measure the voltage output and Seebeck coefficient of the thin film. The measured Seebeck coefficient of the thin film was 350 μV/K.

N-type Bi2Te3 and p-type Sb2Te3 thermoelectric thin films have been prepared by RF and DC co-sputtering. The Seebeck coefficient of n-type Bi2Te3 and p-type Sb2Te3 thin films is about -122 μVK-1 and 108 μVK-1, the power factor is about 0.82×10-3 Wm-1K-2 and 1.60×10-3 Wm-1K-2. Then, the films have been selected to fabricate the thin film thermoelectric generator. The results show that the open-circuit voltage of 12.2 mV and the output power of 3.32 μW are obtained for a thin film generator with the temperature difference at 60 K.

Zinc acetate dehydrate as starting material along with diethanolamine as stabilizer, and isopropyl as a solvent were used to synthesis ZnO thin films in different low molarities. Sol-gel spin coating method was used in depositing ZnO on porous silicon substrate surface. In other to prepare substrate, p-type silicon wafer was etched by dilute hydrofluoric acid to modify the surface becomes porous. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) was employed to study the surface morphology. It is found that ZnO thin films were successfully deposited on the substrates which are composed of ZnO nanoparticles with size ~16 nm to ~22nm. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the surface roughness of thin film. The result shows that the surface roughness is increase as the increases of molarities. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were done in range of 350 nm to 800 nm. The result shows peaks belonging to ZnO, ZnO defects, and porous silicon respectively are appeared.

SiGe alloy composite material including TiN nanoparticle were prepared. The TiN nanoparticles as the inert scattering center were fabricated by Nitrogen plasma-metal reaction. The sintered samples were characterized by electrical resistivity and seebeck coefficient measurement. Adding nanophase inclusion into the SiGe alloy matrix, the Seebeck coefficient increased, the electrical conductivity decreased and the electrical power factor only slightly reduced.

The P-type perovskite oxides La1−xSrxCoO3 (x∼0.05) are a promising group of complex oxide thermoelectric materials. The thermal electric properties of these complexes are expected to increase significantly when their dimension was reduced to nano scale. In this project, the La1-xSrxCoO3 (x∼0.05) nanofibers, with diameters in the range of ∼30–80 nm, were prepared by the electrospinning process. Various substrates such as aluminum foil, silicon dioxide, and a specially designed tester were used to collect and anneal the nanofibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to characterize these thermoelectric nanofibers. Finally, a thermoelectric property tester device was developed and used to measure the voltage output of the nanofibers due to the Seebeck effect. The detected signal was at the mV level and the Seebeck coefficient was positive.

A thermopile sensor composed of 196 pairs of p–n thin film legs was processed on a glass substrate by using successive electrodeposition of the n-type Bi–Te and the p-type Sb–Te thin films. The 5.3-μm thick Bi–Te film, electrodeposited at a constant voltage of -50 mV in the 50-mM electrolyte with the Bi/(Bi + Te) mole ratio of 0.5, exhibited a Seebeck coefficient of -67 μV/K. The 5.2-μm thick Sb–Te film, electrodeposited at a constant voltage of 20 mV in the 70-mM solution with the Sb/(Sb + Te) mole ratio of 0.9, possessed a Seebeck coefficient of 63 μV/K. The thermopile sensor exhibited the sensitivities of 13.1 mV/K with temperature differences smaller than 9 K and of 27.3 mV/K with temperature differences larger than 9 K respectively, across the hot and cold ends.

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) based on dioctylbenzothienobenzothiophene (C8BTBT) and copper (Cu) electrodes were fabricated. For improving the electrical performance of the original devices, the different modifications were attempted to insert in three different positions including semiconductor/electrode interface, semiconductor bulk inside and semiconductor/insulator interface. In detail, 4,4′,4′′-tris[3-methylpheny(phenyl)amino] triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) was applied between C8BTBTand Cu electrodes as hole injection layer (HIL). Moreover, the fluorinated copper phthalo-cyanine (F16CuPc) was inserted in C8BTBT/SiO2 interface to form F16CuPc/C8BTBT heterojunction or C8BTBT bulk to form C8BTBT/F16CuPc/C8BTBT sandwich configuration. Our experiment shows that, the sandwich structured OTFTs have a significant performance enhancement when appropriate thickness modification is chosen, comparing with original C8BTBT devices. Then, even the low work function metal Cu was applied, a normal p-type operate-mode C8BTBT-OTFT with mobility as high as 2.56 cm2/Vs has been fabricated.
