The thermoelectric properties of a highperformance electron‐conducting polymer, (P(NDIOD‐T2), extrinsically doped with dihydro‐1H‐benzoimidazol‐2‐yl (NDBI) derivatives, are reported. The highest thermoelectric power factor that has been reported for a solution‐processed n ‐type polymer is achieved; and it is concluded that engineering polymerdopant miscibility is essential for the development of organic thermoelectrics.
