title: Three novel electrochemical electrodes for the fabrication of conducting polymer/SWCNTs layered nanostructures and their thermoelectric performance.
abstract: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),
  PSS/SWCNTs, and SWCNTs/
  PSS nanofilms were used as working electrodes to electrodeposit polyaniline (PANI) in a mixed alcohol solution of isopropyl alcohol (IPA), boron trifluoride ethyl ether (BFEE), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The thermoelectric (TE) performances of the resulting nanofilms were systematically investigated. SWCNTs/
  PSS/PANI nanofilms showed a relatively high electrical conductivity value of 232.0 S cm(-1). The Seebeck coefficient was enhanced and exhibited the values of 33.8, 25.6, and 23.0 μV K(-1) for the SWCNTs/PANI, PEDOT:PSS/SWCNTs/PANI, and SWCNTs/
  PSS/PANI films, respectively. The maximum power factor achieved was 12.3 μW m(-1) K(-2). This technique offers a facile and versatile approach to a class of layered nanostructures, and it may provide a general strategy for fabricating a new generation of conducting polymer/SWCNTs materials for further practical applications.
