Hybrids of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) treated by tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) have large n-type voltages in response to temperature differences. The reduced carrier concentration by TDAE reduction and partially percolated CNT networks embedded in the PEDOT matrix result in

Thermoelectric (TE) energy conversion with nontraditional organic materials is promising in wearable electronics and roll-to-roll manufacturing because of mechanical flexibility, lightweight, and easy processing. Although typical organic materials have a benefit of low thermal conductivity that creates a large temperature
