Effect of Side Chain Substituent Volume on Thermoelectric Properties of IDT-Based Conjugated Polymers
A p-type thermoelectric conjugated polymer based on indacenodithiophene and benzothiadiazole is designed and synthesized by replacing normal aliphatic side chains (<b>P1</b>) with conjugated aromatic benzene substituents (<b>P2</b>). The introduced bulky substituent on <b&...

| description | A p-type thermoelectric conjugated polymer based on indacenodithiophene and benzothiadiazole is designed and synthesized by replacing normal aliphatic side chains (<b>P1</b>) with conjugated aromatic benzene substituents (<b>P2</b>). The introduced bulky substituent on <b>P2</b> is detrimental to form the intensified packing of polymers, therefore, it hinders the efficient transporting of the charge carriers, eventually resulting in a lower conductivity compared to that of the polymers bearing aliphatic side chains (<b>P1</b>). These results reveal that the modification of side chains on conjugated polymers is crucial to rationally designed thermoelectric polymers with high performance. |
