Thermoelectric and Electrochemical Properties of Highly Ordered Conducting Polymer/Carbon Nanotube Structures

Several conducting polymers show promisingly high Seebeck-coefficient (up to some mV/K), which rises up the opportunity of their thermoelectric application. In addition, the low thermal conductivity of these materials is also favourable. The only drawback of using conducting polymers in thermoelectr...
