Abstract

Carbon-based materials are becoming a promising candidate for thermoelectricity. Among them, graphene shows limited scope due to its ultra-high thermal conductivity (κ). To develop graphene-based thermoelectric devices, reduction of κ is highly desired while maintaining reasonably high electrical co...
