Side-Chain Effects on the Thermoelectric Properties of Fluorene-Based Copolymers.
Macromolecular Rapid Communications 2017 September
Three conjugated polymers with alkyl chains of different lengths are designed and synthesized, and their structure-property relationship as organic thermoelectric materials is systematically elucidated. All three polymers show similar photophysical properties, thermal properties, and mechanical properties; however, their thermoelectric performance is influenced by the length of their side chains. The length of the alkyl chain significantly influences the electrical conductivity of the conjugated polymers, and polymers with a short alkyl chain exhibit better conductivity than those with a long alkyl chain. The length of the alkyl chain has little effect on the Seebeck coefficient. Only a slight increase in the Seebeck coefficient is observed with the increasing length of the alkyl chain. The purpose of this study is to provide comprehensive insight into fine-tuning the thermoelectric properties of conjugated polymers as a function of side-chain engineering, thereby providing a novel perspective into the design of high-performance thermoelectric conjugated polymers.
