摘要

Electron transfer from the CNFs to the PVDF

computed using a Density Functional based Tight Binding (DFTB) Hamiltonian

responsible for the near-zero Seebeck coefficient found in melt mixed PVDF/CNF film.

Abstract

The effect of temperature on the electrical conductivity (

) and Seebeck coefficient (

) of n-type vapor grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) melt-mixed with 15 wt% of those CNFs is analyzed. At 40 °C

the CNFs show stable n-type character (

=−4.8 μV·K

−1

) with an

.165 S·m

−1

while the PVDF/CNF composite film shows an

. 9 S·m

−1

and near-zero

(

=−0.5 μV·K

−1

). This experimental reduction in

is studied by the density functional tight binding (DFTB) method revealing a contact electron transfer from the CNFs to the PVDF in the interface. Moreover

in the temperature range from 40 °C to 100 °C

the

(

) of the CNFs and PVDF/CNF film

successfully described by the 3D variable range hopping (VRH) model

is explained as consequence of a thermally activated backscattering mechanism. On the contrary

the

(

) from 40 °C to 100 °C of the PVDF/CNF film

which satisfactorily matches the model proposed for some multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) doped mats; however

it does not follow the increase in

(

) found for CNFs. All these findings are presented with the aim of discerning the role of these n-type vapor grown carbon nanofibers on the

and S of their melt-mixed polymer composites.
