Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201306116-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A new class of high‐performance n‐type organic thermoelectric materials</bold>, self‐doping perylene diimide derivatives with modified side chains, is reported. These materials achieve the highest <italic>n</italic>‐type thermoelectric performance of solution‐processed organic materials reported to date, with power factors as high as 1.4 μW/mK². These results demonstrate that molecular design is a promising strategy for enhancing organic thermoelectric performance. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghgb1834f" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
