The optimal thermoelectric property ofpoly（Ni-ett） synthesized at 0.6 V is remarkably greater than that of the polymers synthesized at 1 and 1.6 V, exhibiting a maximum power factor of up to 131.6μW/mK2 at 360 K. Furthermore, the structure-property correlation ofpoly（Ni-ett） is also extensively investigated. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） analyses revealed that the larger size of crystalline domains and the higher oxidation state of poly（Ni-ett） synthesized at 0.6 V possibly results in the higher bulk mobility and carrier concentration in the polymer chains, respectively, accounting for the enhanced power factor.展开更多
