Summary
Doping is of vital importance to modulate the performance of thermoelectric materials. Over the past decade, organic thermoelectric (OTE) materials have experienced rapid development, but the doping of OSCs for TE application lags behind. Recent efforts have been devoted to developing energetically matched host and dopant molecules, new doping methods, and mechanisms. This chapter introduces the basic mechanisms, fundamental requirements, and recent advances of doping for OTE applications. At first, we provide an overview of the existing categories of doping mechanisms and methods. Thereafter, we summarize doping strategies for developing state-of-the-art OTE materials. Finally, challenges and perspectives on doping are proposed to highlight the related directions that deserve focus attention.
