High performance flexible thermoelectric polymer-based material requires a high Seebeck coefficient, high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity.  It is still challenging to meet all these requirements. Here we report the design and synthesis pi-conjugated polyelectrolytes with different degree of naphthalenediimide (NDI) core with covalently tethered quaternized ammonium cations.  They are then incorporated with multi-valent oxalate anion which is a powerful latent electron donor when dispersed as small ion clusters to give in-situ n-dopable NDI polymers. We further optimised their morphologies using good-to-borderline solvent, and achieved both high seebeck coefficient and conductivity.  Their doping level and electron mobility are also characterised.
