The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric properties was investigated for polyaniline (PANI) films doped with different concentrations of (±)-10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) with molar ratioxof CSA to two phenyl-nitrogen units ofx= 1 to 0.2. All PANI-CSA films exhibitp-type conduction. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the films with low CSA concentrations is consistent with a transport mechanism of variable-range hopping. On the other hand, the Seebeck coefficient above room temperature shows a linear increase with temperature, attributed to the metallic nature of PANI-CSA. As the CSA concentration decreases, the absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient increases while the electrical conductivity extremely decreases, probably due to the changes not only in the carrier concentration but also in the degree of structural disorder. The power factor increases monotonically with increasing CSA concentration towardx= 1 (the maximum limit). The thermal conductivity value of CSA-PANI film withx= 1 is as low as about 0.20 W m−1K−1in the through-plane direction and about 0.67 W m−1K−1in the in-plane direction. The thermoelectric figure of meritZTin the in-plane direction is estimated to be approximately 1 × 10−3forx= 1.
