title: ZT > 0.1 Electron-Carrying Polymer Thermoelectric Composites with In Situ SnCl2Microstructure Growth.
abstract: An n-type pyromellitic diimide polymer composite with in situ microstructuregrowth of the common element compound SnCl2reaches power factor of 50-100 μW m-1K-2, the highest purely n-type polymer composite power factor yet reported. The composite has a gigantic Seebeck coefficient between -4000 and -5000 μV K-1, many times higher than other polymer composites.
