In total around 66% of the global produced primary energy is lost as waste heat, for example from industrial or everyday life processes. Thermoelectric generators, as they enable the direct conversion of a temperature gradient into electrical power, are therefore considered a promising technique to recycle these large amounts of heat waste. Especially, organic thermoelectric polymers are attractive, owning some advantages like low cost, lightness and high mechanical flexibility, low or no toxicity, as well as a usually low thermal conductivity. In our work we research the positive effect of ionic liquid (IL) treatment on the thermoelectric properties of semi-conducting PEDOT:PSS thin films. Therefore, we measure parameters, like the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and furthermore examine the inner film morphology with scattering techniques like grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS). In addition to find the influence of ILs treatment on the morphology-function relation of the PEDOT:PSS thin films, we also investigate the thermoelectric performance stability these films under operation at elevated temperatures.
