Abstract

In clean energy sources, thermoelectric (TE) properties of organic materials have attracted much attention for their potential applications. In present work, using master equation method and considering the influence of temperatures on hopping rates as well as on-site energies, we investigated the characteristics of charge carrier TE transport in the organic material. In our model, the Seebeck coefficient of the organic material under different temperatures, reorganization energies and energetic disorders have been analyzed. Especially, the Seebeck coefficient exhibited different performances as the reorganization energy changes. The results will be helpful to understand TE properties of the organic material and make use of heat energies.
