Polymer gels with tunable ionic Seebeck coefficient for ultra-sensitive printed thermopiles

Though polymer electrolytes with high ionic Seebeck coefficients are attractive for thermoelectric modules, demonstrating high performance n-type polymers required for modules remains elusive. Here, the authors report ambipolar ionic polymer gels with high ionic Seebeck coefficient.
