Abstract
Combining ferrocene and iodine results in enhanced
thermoelectrochemical (or thermogalvanic) waste heat harvesting
abilities, for both the Seebeck coefficient and the overall power
output. All systems displayed a mixture of ferrocene, ferrocenium,
iodine and triiodide. The observed enhancement correlates with
lower electron-density on the ferrocene; the synergistic
improvement observed for mixtures of substituted ferrocenes and
iodine is attributed to the formation of charge-transfer complexes.
Combining dibutanoylferrocene and iodine resulted in the highest
Seebeck coefficient of 1.67 mV K-1
