On page 257, Yanhua Jia, Cheng Liu, Jing Liu, Congcong Liu, Jingkun Xu, Xuejing Li, Lanlan Shen, Qinglin Jiang, Xiaodong Wang, Jin Yang, and Fengxing Jiang report that polyethylenemine (PEI) significantly enhances the thermopower of vapor phase polymerized PEDOT films. Tuning the molecular rearrangement and oxidation level have been proven as particularly effective strategies for optimizing the thermoelectric performance through one‐step processing. This work could provide important insights concerning the role of PEI in tuning the thermopower of other organic TE materials. (DOI: 10.1002/POLB24778 )
