Recently, organic thermoelectric conversion attracts a great deal of attention as a part of energy harvesting. However, since most of the studies use thin films, as long as reliance on natural radiational cooling, the temperature difference between both surfaces of the film disappears and thermoelectric conversion does not occur. In this study, a thick mat of P3HT nanofiber composited with polystyrene was prepared by freeze-drying method, and we investigated its thermoelectric properties.
