▎ 摘 要
Here, we fabricated a highly conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) :poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) nanofilm via vacuum filtration with enhanced thermoelectric power factor by doping of liquid exfoliated graphene (GE) and hydrazine treatment. The effect of GE exfoliated in dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) on the electrical conductivity and thermopower of PEDOT:PSS was investigated. Although electrical conductivity decreased with increasing GE, thermoelectric power factors of PEDOT:PSS nanofilms were improved with 3 wt % GE in DMF (38.6 mu W m(-1) K-2) and in NMP (28.0 mu W m(-1) K-2) compared to pure PEDOT:PSS (11.5 mu W m(-1) K-2). The mechanism of improvement was proposed to be the removal of PSS and the good interaction between PEDOT and GE. With hydrazine treatment, 3 wt % GE-doped PEDOT:PSS nanofilm (PG3) showed a further enhanced power factor of 53.3 mu W m(-1) K-2 (similar to 5 times higher than that of pristine PEDOT:PSS nanofilm). The effects of hydrazine containing concentration, treatment time, and temperature on the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of PG3 were investigated systematically. An estimated thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) is 0.05 with the optimized power factor at room temperature.
