Abstract
Among the many extraordinary qualities of graphene, its thermoelectric properties have attracted significant interest, for example, in active cooling applications. Here, we report on the thermoelectric transport properties of centimeter-sized monolayer CVD graphene, electrostatically controlled by a high-capacity ionic gel. The power factor reaches 7 and 5.4 mW m–1 K–2 for hole and electron conduction, respectively, similar to earlier reports obtained for microdevices despite our devices being over 2 orders of magnitude larger. On the basis of these results, we propose nonvolatile ferroelectric polarization as a scalable technology for graphene-based thermoelectric applications.
