Abstract

Thin films of p- and n- type organic semiconductors for thermo-electrical (TE) applications are produced by doping of tetrathiotetracene (TTT). To obtain p-type material TTT is doped with iodine during vacuum deposition of thin films or by post-deposition doping using controlled exposure to iodine vapors. Thermal co-deposition in vacuum of TTT and TCNQ is used to prepare n-type thin films. The attained thin films are characterized by measurements of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity. Seebeck coefficient and conductivity could be varied by altering the doping level. P-type TTT:iodide thin films with a power factor of 0.52 μWm-1K-2, electrical conductivity of 130 S m-1 and Seebeck coefficient of 63 μV K-1 and n-type TCNQ:TTT films with power factor of 0.33 μWm-1K-2, electrical conductivity of 57 S m-1 and Seebeck coefficient of -75 μV K-1 are produced. Engineered deposition of both p- and n-type thermoelectric conducting elements on the same substrate is demonstrated. A proof of concept prototype of planar thin film TE generator based on a single p-n couple from the organic materials is built and its power generation characterized.
