Abstract:

In order to prepare high-conductivity, flexible, and multifunctional thermoelectric fabrics, a low-temperature in-situ interfacial polymerization method was proposed to fabricate core-shell thermoelectric textile with p-toluenesulfonic acid ion-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT∶Tos) coated with polypropylene(PP) fibers. The structure and performance of thermoelectric fabrics were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and infrared thermal imager. The results show that the prepared thermoelectric fabrics have excellent flexibility as a textile materials, and good conductivity due to PEDOT∶Tos with conductivity reaching 2.1 S/cm. When a voltage of 10V is applied to both ends of a thermoelectric fabric, the surface temperature increases by about 20 ℃, indicating good electric heating performance and effective conversion of electric energy into heat energy. When the thermoelectric conversion device constructed using the thermoelectric fabric is placed in a temperature gradient field with a temperature difference of 20 ℃, it can continuously output a voltage of 0.3 mV.

Key words: thermoelectric fabric, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), low-temperature interfacial polymerization, p-toluenesulfonic acid ion, thermoelectric conversion device, polypropylene nonwoven fabric
