Abstract

Poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is one derivative of polythiophene families, possessing similar properties with other conducting polymers like adjustable and high conductivity, excellent chemical stability in air and low thermal conductivity, which has been currently regarded as the most promising and most studied thermoelectric (TE) material among the polymer families. In this chapter, the TE basis of PEDOTs including electrical conductivity, thermopower (Seebeck coefficient), power factor, thermal conductivity (electronic and lattice thermal conductivity), and ZT value have been summarized, and we hope it can arouse wide attention and make a contribution to the better TE development of PEDOTs.
