Abstract
Thermoelectric performance of polyaniline can be improved by formation of m ultilayered film structure. The alternatively layered films are composed of electrically insulating emeraldine base layers and electrically conducting (+/-)-10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA)-doped emeraldine salt layers. The mult ilayered film exhibited 3.5 times higher thermoelectric power factor at ca. 300 K than a bulk film of polyaniline doped by CSA.
