Interface Engineering via Sb2Te3 Deposition Enables High‐Performance SWCNT Film Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
SWCNTs are promising for flexible thermoelectrics but suffer from low performance. Here, cold‐pressed SWCNT films combined with deposited Sb2Te3 form engineered interfaces that enhance charge transport and energy filtering. The composite achieves a high power factor (25.82 µW cm−1 K−2) and delivers a power density of 3 mW cm−2 at ΔT = 40 K, with ...
