“…An elastic composite based on SWNTs showed a power factor of 12 to 15 µW m −1 K −2 . The present large output power is at least, ten times larger than those of composites of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and engineering plastics [27][28][29][30][31] and is comparable to those of non-elastic CNT-based materials. [32][33][34][35][36] These findings will be applied in the fabrication of elastic thermoelectric modules, a new type of energy harvesting device which can be used around our body as a power source for mobile medical and IT electronic devices, etc.…”

Flexible polymer composite materials are advantageous for future thermoelectrics. In this paper we report the controlled dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes into an elastic polymer matrix for efficient thermoelectric power generation capability. Optimized rubber composites with a 30 wt % loading level of single-walled carbon nanotubes showed a 15 µW m %1 K %2 thermoelectric power factor, comparable to those of non-elastic carbon nanotube sheets, and larger than those of flexible composite films based on carbon nanotubes.

This article reviews the recent progress towards achieving carbon-based thermoelectric materials. A wide range of experimental and computational studies on carbon allotropes and composites is covered in this review paper. Specifically, we discuss the strategies for engineering graphene, graphene nanoribbon, graphene nanomesh, graphene nanowiggle, carbon nanotube (CNT), fullerene, graphyne, and carbon quantum dot for better thermoelectric performance. Moreover, we discuss the most recent advances in CNT/graphene-polymer composites and the related challenges and solutions. We also highlight the important charge and heat transfer mechanisms in carbon-based materials and state-of-the-art strategies for enhancing thermoelectric performance. Finally, we provide an outlook towards the future of carbon-based thermoelectrics.
