Light-Weight Flexible Carbon Nanotube Based Organic Composites with Large Thermoelectric Power Factors
Choongho Yu, Kyungwho Choi, Liang Yin, and Jaime C. GrunlanACS Nano2011 5 (10), 7885-7892Light-Weight Flexible Carbon Nanotube Based Organic Composites with Large Thermoelectric Power Factors
Choongho Yu, Kyungwho Choi, Liang Yin, and Jaime C. GrunlanACS Nano2011 5 (10), 7885-7892Typical organic materials have low thermal conductivities that are best suited to thermoelectrics, but their poor electrical properties with strong adverse correlations have prevented them from being feasible candidates. Our composites, containing single-...
