Thermoelectric (TE) materials can have a strong benefit to harvest thermal energy if they can be applied to large areas without losing their performance over time. One way of achieving large-area films is through hybrid materials, where a blend of TE materials with polymers can be applied as coating. Here, we present the development of all solution-processed TE ink and hybrid films with varying contents of TE Sb₂Te₃ and Bi₂Te₃ nanomaterials, along with their characterization. Using (1-methoxy-2-propyl) acetate (MPA) as the solvent and poly (methyl methacrylate) as the durable polymer, large-area homogeneous hybrid TE films have been fabricated. The conductivity and TE power factor improve with nanoparticle volume fraction, peaking around 60-70% solid material fill factor. For larger fill factors, the conductivity drops, possibly because of an increase in the interface resistance through interface defects and reduced connectivity between the platelets in the medium. The use of dodecanethiol (DDT) as an additive in the ink formulation enabled an improvement in the electrical conductivity through modification of interfaces and the compactness of the resultant films, leading to a 4-5 times increase in the power factor for both p- and n-type hybrid TE films, respectively. The observed trends were captured by combining percolation theory with analytical resistive theory, with the above assumption of increasing interface resistance and connectivity with polymer volume reduction. The results obtained on these hybrid films open a new low-cost route to produce and implement TE coatings on a large scale, which can be ideal for driving flexible, large-area energy scavenging technologies such as personal medical devices and the IoT.
