Tuning of the Thermoelectric Properties of One-Dimensional Material Networks by Electric Double Layer Techniques Using Ionic Liquids
We report across-bandgap p-type and
n-type control over the Seebeck
coefficients of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotube networks
through an electric double layer transistor setup using an ionic liquid
as the electrolyte. All-around gating characteristics by electric
double layer formation upon the surface of the nanotubes enabled the
tuning of the Seebeck coefficient of the nanotube networks by the
shift in gate voltage, which opened the path to Fermi-level-controlled
three-dimensional thermoelectric devices composed of one-dimensional
nanomaterials
