Abstract

Poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is one of the most commonly explored conducting polymers for applications in numerous electronic devices. The polymer is environmentally stable and exhibits good conductivity. The evolution of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as filler materials has contributed to the realization of CNT-polymer nanocomposites as next-generation materials. Here, we report a two-layer device based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and pure PEDOT:PSS. Different devices were fabricated by varying the concentration of MWCNT to investigate the voltage generation. It was found that the voltage varied from 0.3 to 0.6 V on increasing the concentration of MWCNT from 5 to 20 wt%.
