Recent advances in π-conjugated organic thermoelectric materials: molecular design, properties, and applications.
Review in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Organic thermoelectric materials have emerged as promising candidates for sustainable energy conversion due to their flexibility, low cost, and tunable molecular structures. This review highlights recent advances in π-conjugated systems based on fullerene, perylene, pyrrole, and thiophene derivatives. Molecular engineering strategies, including doping control, side-chain modification, and nanocomposite formation, are discussed to enhance electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. Fullerene systems demonstrate exceptional n-type behavior and interfacial tunability. Perylene derivatives enable air-stable n-type performance with high power factors. Pyrrole-based polymers show improved thermoelectric efficiency through structural ordering and hybridization. Thiophene-based materials exhibit high carrier mobility and versatile molecular design for optimized energy conversion. Overall, these advances provide valuable design guidelines for next-generation flexible thermoelectric devices and waste heat recovery applications.
