The invention relates to an n-type thermoelectric material compounded by 3,4,9,10-
perylene imide (PDIN) or 1,4,5,8-naphthaline
imide (NDIN) and carbon nano tubes, and a preparation method of the n-type thermoelectric material, in particular to a method of synthesizing PDIN or NDIN micromolecules with n-type conduction property by taking 3,4,9,10-
perylene tetra-
formic anhydride (PD) or 1,4,5,8-naphthaline
tetra-
formic anhydride (ND) as raw materials, and then compounding with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) to prepare the n-type thermoelectric material. The n-type compounded thermoelectric material is an n-type thermoelectric material efficiently prepared by taking the cheap and easy-to-get p-type carbon nanotubes as a
raw material, taking DMSO as a
solvent, taking the NDIN or PDIN as a mixing body, and ultrasonically mixing at
room temperature. The stable n-type thermoelectric material is formed by
coating the surfaces of NDIN or PDIN crystals with the carbon nanotubes. The invention provides the high-performance n-type thermoelectric material, and also provides the new method for preparing the flexible and organic thermoelectric material with the advantages of simple and convenient preparation process, no
toxicity and no need of aftertreatment.
