Optimizing the doping efficiency and thermoelectric properties of isoindigo-based conjugated polymers using side chain engineering

Three isoindigo–bithiophene conjugated polymers named P(Si–Si), P(Si–O), and P(Si–F) with the symmetric carbosilane and asymmetric carbosilane/oligoether, and carbosilane/semifluorinated side chains are investigated for thermoelectric application.
