Abstract Scope |
This study investigates the integration of Bi₂Te₃-based thermoelectric (TE) materials with a self-healing polymer, Ni-bpyPTD, to enhance the properties of hybrid TE devices. Ni-bpyPTD is noted for its exceptional self-healing capabilities, making it a robust encapsulation material that maintains module integrity and effectively resists water vapor penetration. This demonstrates significant potential for self-sealing applications. Thermoelectric flakes were produced using exfoliation techniques and subsequently integrated onto Ni-bpyPTD. Bridgman-grown p-type and n-type Bi₂Te₃ crystals exhibit a natural cleavage along the in-plane direction, making them ideal for forming two-dimensional crystalline flakes with an average thickness of several tens of micrometers. The analysis of thermoelectric performance reveals that the organic-inorganic hybrid module can generate increased output powe. These results provide valuable insights into the development of flexible, durable, and efficient thermoelectric devices. |
