Thermoelectric power generation is one of the key technologies to convert waste heat to electricity. Among various thermoelectric materials, carbon-based composites using carbon nanotube have gained much interest because of their unique potential for thermoelectrics with low cost, processability, and their mechanical and electrical properties. The thermoelectric devices with thin film structure have developed to ensure their electrical properties despite of their difficulty in mass production. To enhance their mass producibility, elastic and porous thermoelectric materials were prepared using solution process with carbon-based ink. Interestingly, their electrical and thermoelectric properties are maintained with stretching or bending. The thermal conductivity of this material is significantly reduced due to their high porous structure. |
