Poly[Cux(Cu-ethylenetetrathiolate)] was synthesized, and its thermoelectric (TE) properties were optimized using chemical oxidation and reduction. Both X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the polymers. The best TE properties were achieved with a PF of 26.0 μW m−1 K−2 and a ZT of 0.019 at 360 K.
