A universal method to obtain record‐high electronic Seebeck coefficients is demonstrated while preserving reasonable conductivities in doped blends of organic semiconductors through rational design of the density of states (DOSs). A polymer semiconductor with a shallow highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level‐poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is mixed with materials with a deeper HOMO (PTB7, TQ1) to form binary blends of the type P3HTx:B1‐x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) that is p‐type doped by F4TCNQ. For B = PTB7, a Seebeck coefficient S = 1100 µV K−1 with conductivity σ = 0.3 S m−1 at x = 0.10 is achieved, while for B = TQ1, S = 2000 µV K−1 and σ = 0.03 S m−1 at x = 0.05 is found. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations with parameters based on experiments show good agreement with the experimental results, confirming the intended mechanism. The simulations are used to derive a design rule for parameter tuning. These results can become relevant for low‐power, low‐cost applications like (providing power to) autonomous sensors, in which a high Seebeck coefficient translates directly to a proportionally reduced number of legs in the thermogenerator, and hence in reduced fabrication cost and complexity.

共轭聚合物混合物中的高塞贝克系数

通过合理设计态密度(DOS),在保持有机半导体掺杂共混物的合理电导率的同时,展示了一种获得创纪录的高电子Seebeck系数的通用方法。将具有最浅最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)能级的聚合物半导体-聚(3-己基噻吩)(P3HT)与具有更深HOMO(PTB7,TQ1)的材料混合以形成P3HT x:B 1-类型的二元共混物X(0≤ X ≤1)即p型被F掺杂4 TCNQ。对于= PTB7,塞贝克系数小号= 1100μVķ -1与电导率σ= 0.3 S M -1X= 0.10,而对于B = TQ1,S = 2000 µV K -1和σ= 0.03在x = 0.05时发现S m -1。基于实验的动力学蒙特卡洛模拟结果与实验结果吻合良好,证实了预期的机理。仿真用于得出参数调整的设计规则。这些结果可能与低功率,低成本应用(例如向自主传感器提供能量)相关,在该传感器中,高塞贝克系数直接转化为成比例减少的热发生器支脚数量,从而降低了制造成本和复杂性。
