BI-POLAR ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTORS FOR THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION

摘要

Disclosed are bi-polar semiconductor composites that include at least one organic p-type semiconductor; and at least one organic n-type semiconductor, and methods of making and using them. In particular, collagen based semiconductors may be used. The composite may be used to generate electricity from heat loss via industrial processes, such as heat lost via pipes, heat sinks, and so on.
