Air stable and soluble tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF), is demonstrated as an efficient n-type dopant for the conjugated polymer ClBDPPV. Electron transfer from F− anions to the π-electron deficient polymer ClBDPPV through anion-π electronic interactions is strongly corroborated by the combined the results of electron spin resonance (ESR), UV-Vis-NIR and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Doping of ClBDPPV with 25 mol% TBAF boosts electrical conductivity to up to 0.62 S cm-1, among the highest conductivities that has been reported for solution processed n-type conjugated polymers, with a thermoelectric power factor of 0.63 μW m−1 K−2 in air. Importantly, the Seebeck coefficient agrees with recently published correlations to conductivity. Moreover, the F- doped ClBDPPV shows significant air stability, maintaining the conductivity of over 0.1 S cm-1 in a thick film after exposure to air for one week, to the best of our knowledge the first report of an air stable solution processable n-doped conductive polymer with this level of conductivity. The result shows that using solution processable small-anion salts such as TBAF as a n-dopant of organic conjugated polymers possessing lower LUMO (< -4.2 eV) can open new opportunities toward high performance air stable solution processable n-type thermoelectric conjugated polymers.
