- Abstract
- Understanding the mechanism of thermal energy transport in a single nanotube (NT) is essential for successfully engineering nanostructured conducting polymers to apply to thermoelectrics or flexible electronic devices. We report the characterization of the in-plane thermal energy transport in a single poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) NTviadirect measurement of the in-plane thermal conductivity (kappa). We also demonstrate that the in-plane kappa of PEDOT:PSS NT can be tuned within the range of 0.19 to 1.92 W center dot m(-1)center dot K(-1)merely by changing the solvent used to treat the NTs in the post-fabrication stage. The in-plane thermal energy transport in a pristine NT, with its low in-plane kappa, is primarily due to phonons; in a sulfuric acid-treated NT however, significant electronic contributions lead to a high in-plane kappa. The present study will contribute to understanding the mechanism of thermal energy transport in highly disordered structures, such as conducting polymers, and to designing highly efficient polymer-based devices in which in-plane kappa plays a pivotal role in determining the energy conversion efficiency.
