Abstract

Abstract : Front cover image : Carbon‐based thermoelectric materials have shown remarkable advancements since the discovery of conducting polymers, carbon allotropes, and most recently, organic‐inorganic hybrid halide perovskites. However, the thermoelectric power factor is still low compared to state‐of‐the‐art inorganic semiconductors from either low Seebeck coefficient or electrical conductivity. In article number 10.1002/cey2.121, a research group by Sang Hyuk Im at Korea University summarizes the recent strategies applied on carbon materials to achieve high‐thermoelectric performance, such as chemical doping and nano‐compositing with organic and inorganic materials. The authors also highlight the key studies that have successfully demonstrated high‐performance flexible thermoelectric devices using carbon materials and share the future perspectives of carbon‐based thermoelectric materials.
