Turning heat into electric power with efficient organic thermoelectric material

Thermoelectric materials can turn a temperature difference into electricity. Organic thermoelectric materials could be used to power wearable electronics or sensors; however, the power output is still very low. An international team has now produced an n-type organic semiconductor with superior properties that brings these applications a big step closer.
