Abstract:
An n-type pyromellitic diimide polymer composite with in situ microstructure growth of the common element compound SnCl2 reaches power factor of 50-100 μW m-1 K-2, the highest purely n-type polymer composite power factor yet reported. The composite has a gigantic Seebeck coefficient between -4000 and -5000 μV K-1, many times higher than other polymer composites.
