Investigations into the strain dependence of thermoelectric properties in organic semiconductors

热电材料能够将热梯度转换为电压，因此在废热捕获和可穿戴电子产品中具有潜在的应用。有机半导体尤其有前途，因为它有可能使其导热性和导电性解耦，并且易于加工和灵活。然而，人们对这种灵活性如何影响它们的热电性能以及它是否可以用来提高性能知之甚少。

Thermoelectric materials are capable of converting a heat gradient into a voltage so have potential applications in waste heat capture and wearable electronics. Organic semiconductors especially are promising due to the potential to decouple their thermal and electrical conductivities, as well as being easy to process and flexible. However little is known about how this flexibility affects their thermoelectric properties and whether it can be used to enhance performance.
