Abstract: Organic Thermoelectric Generators In article number 2404656, Martin Brinkmann, Mario Caironi, and co-workers present a method for integrating aligned organic semiconductor films (P3HT and PBTTT-8O) into thin, label-like thermoelectric generators (TEGs). High-temperature rubbing induces advantageous structural anisotropy while local inkjet doping patterns the films on ultrathin substrates. The TEGs exhibit exceptional normalized power densities of 0.33 and 1.04 nW cm−2 K−2, promising applications in healthcare and food packaging.
