Semiconducting polymers have the potential to be used in thermoelectric devices that are lightweight, flexible, and fabricated using solution processing. Because of the structural and energetic disorder of these polymers, the relationship between their structure and thermoelectric properties is complex. We review how interrelated processing routes and doping methods affect the thermoelectric properties of polymers. The studies highlighted here have led to correlations between thermopower and electrical conductivity that can be described by theories under investigation. With greater understanding of the materials properties behind their performance, semiconducting polymers can be used in future power generation or cooling devices.

Constructing hybrid composites with organic and inorganic materials at different length scales provides unconventional opportunities in the field of thermoelectric materials, which are classified as hybrid crystal, superlattice, and nanocomposite. A variety of new techniques have been proposed to fabricate hybrid thermoelectric materials with homogeneous microstructures and intimate interfaces, which are critical for good thermoelectric performance. The combination of organic and inorganic materials at the nano or atomic scale can cause strong perturbation in the structural, electron, and phonon characteristics, providing new mechanisms to decouple electrical and thermal transport properties that are not attainable in the pure organic or inorganic counterparts. Because of their increasing thermoelectric performance, compositional diversity, mechanical flexibility, and ease of fabrication, hybrid materials have become the most promising candidates for flexible energy harvesting and solid-state cooling.

The emerging field of self-assembled vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) thin films effectively enables strain, interface, and microstructure engineering as well as (multi)functional improvements in electric, magnetic, optical, and energy-related properties. Well-ordered or patterned microstructures not only empower VAN thin films with many new functionalities but also enable VAN thin films to be used in nanoscale devices. Comparative ordered devices formed via templating methods suffer from critical drawbacks of processing complexity and potential contamination. Therefore, VAN thin films with spontaneous ordering stand out and display many appealing features for next-generation technological devices, such as electronics, optoelectronics, ultrahigh-density memory systems, photonics, and 3D microbatteries. The spontaneous ordering described in this review contains ordered/patterned structures in both in-plane and out-of-plane directions. In particular, approaches to obtaining spontaneously ordered/patterned structures in-plane are systematically reviewedfrom both thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives. Out-of-plane ordering is also discussed in detail. In addition to reviewing the progress of VAN films with spontaneous ordering, this article also highlights some recent developments in spontaneous ordering approaches and proposes future directions.
