聚合物热电材料由于其加工成本低、重量轻、机械柔性好、固有的低热导率等优点，在绿色能源转换领域显示出巨大的潜力，引起了人们的广泛关注。聚合物与纳米填料的集成是定制聚合物热电性能的主要途径之一，它不仅结合了各个组分的性能，而且还显示出由聚合物和纳米填料之间的界面引起的有趣的输运现象。本文综述了聚合物复合材料的热电性能，特别是导电聚合物基复合材料，包括聚合物/无机物、聚合物/碳纳米填料、聚合物/聚合物杂化材料。讨论了制备和结构对热电性能的影响。此外，还对聚合物基复合材料热电器件进行了系统的研究，并分析了器件制备中可能存在的问题。关于未来的研究机会，也提供了一些有远见的讨论。
Polymer thermoelectric materials have attracted increasing attention and exhibited great potential in green energy conversion due to their inexpensive to process, lightweight, mechanical flexibility, and intrinsic low thermal conductivity in the past decades. Integration of polymers with nanofillers has been one main approach to tailor the thermoelectric properties of polymers, which not only combines the properties of each component but also displays interesting transport phenomenon induced by the interfaces between polymers and nanofillers. In this review, we discussed the thermoelectric properties of polymer composites, especially for the conducting polymer based composites, including polymer/inorganic, polymer/carbon nanofillers, polymer/polymer hybrids. The fabrication and structure-dependent thermoelectric properties were discussed. In addition, polymer composites based thermoelectric devices were also systematically addressed, and potential issues in the devices fabrication were also analyzed. Regarding the future research opportunities, some visionary discussion was also provided.
