One-pot fabrication and enhanced thermoelectric properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Bi2S3 nanocomposites
Source abstract
Abstract
Bi2S3 nanotubes and de-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) composite nanopowders were synchronously synthesized by a one-pot self-assembly method. The powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Thermoelectric properties of the Bi2S3–PEDOT composite nanopowders with different Bi2S3 contents after being cold pressed into pellets were measured at room temperature. The sample with 36.1 wt% Bi2S3 has a highest power factor of 2.3 μWm−1K−2, which is higher than that of both pure PEDOT (0.445 μWm−1K−2) and Bi2S3 (1.94 μWm−1K−2).
