In this study, a spin-coated Cu2Se nanoparticle thin film on a plastic substrate was fabricated and the effects of low-temperature annealing on its thermoelectric characteristics were investigated. The results showed that the electrical conductivity of the film was dramatically enhanced after annealing, while the thermal conductivity slightly increased.
In this study, we fabricated a spin-coated Cu2Se nanoparticle (NP) thin film on a plastic substrate and investigated the effects of low-temperature annealing on its thermoelectric characteristics. After thermal annealing at 150 degrees C for 10 min in vacuum, the electrical conductivity of the Cu2Se NP thin film was dramatically enhanced from 1.05 x 10(2) to 2.09 x 10(4) S/m, whereas its thermal conductivity slightly increased from 0.11 to 0.50 W/m.K. The power factor and the figure of merit of the annealed Cu2Se NP thin films at room temperature in air was 25.6 mu W/m.K-2 and 1.54 x 10(-2), respectively.
