Abstract:
Thermoelectric energy harvesters based on p- and n-type organic semiconductors are in high demand, while the air stability of n-type devices has long been a challenge. Here, we demonstrate that supramolecular salt-functionalized n-doped ladder-type conducting polymers exhibit excellent stability in the presence of dry air.
