| Abstract Scope |
Using Bi2Te3-based TE and a self-healing polymer Ni-bpyPTD, the study aims to examine the properties of combining inorganic thermoelectric materials with organic Ni-bpyPTD polymers. Ni-bpyPTD exhibits impressive self-healing capabilities. When used for encapsulation, the module maintains its integrity and resists water vapor penetration, demonstrating its potential for self-sealing applications. Using exfoliation techniques, thermoelectric flakes were fabricated and integrated onto Ni-bpyPTD. Bridgman-grown p-type and n-type Bi2Te3 crystals have a tendency to cleave along the in-plane direction, making them suitable as two-dimensional crystalline flakes with an average thickness in the range of tens of micrometers. Based on the analysis of thermoelectric performance, it appears that the organic-inorganic hybrid module can generate enhanced output power, despite the fact that its efficiency may be compromised by deformation. These findings provide valuable insights into the development of flexible, robust, and efficient thermoelectric devices. |
