Optimizing solvent properties to efficiently N-dope highly aligned wet-spun CNT fibers for advanced wearable thermoelectrics
With the growing demand for efficient, flexible, and lightweight power sources for wearable electronics, wearable thermoelectric generators (WTEGs) have emerged as a promising solution. This study investigates the role of solvent properties in enhancing the N-type doping efficiency of highly aligned wet-spun carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers for use in advanced WTEGs. We demonstrate that solvents with higher affinity significantly improve dopant infiltration into the CNT fibers, leading to a power factor of 2.81 mW/mK² and stable N-type Seebeck coefficient. Furthermore, a novel integration strategy incorporating these fibers into a fabric-structured thermoelectric generator (FTEG) achieves a high P/N pair density of 90 pairs/cm². The resulting FTEG exhibits remarkable voltage and power densities of 45.8 V/m²K and 39.1 μW/m²K², respectively, representing a significant advancement in the development of wearable power sources for next-generation electronics.
