Description
Summary:Recently, thermoelectric (TE) conversion has attracted strong interests toward converting waste heat to electrical potential for applications such as portable and wearable electronic devices. Among a number of different candidates including inorganic and polymeric materials, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are particularly attractive due to their non-toxicity, material abundance, solution processability, remarkable electrical conductivity and so on. Here, progress in TE research based on SWCNT sheets is reviewed mainly for air stabilization of n-type SWCNT sheets and the TE properties of semiconducting SWCNT sheets.
