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

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
