Strategies to tune thermal transport in conducting polymers are proposed by Dong Wang and co‐workers in article number 1702847 . Molecular dynamics simulations show that rationally tailoring the chain length and the crystallinity dramatically suppresses the lattice thermal conductivity along the polymer backbone. As a consequence, one order‐of‐magnitude increase in the thermoelectric figure of merit is achieved.
