Abstract

Disclosed are an organic thermoelectric material and a thermoelectric generator including the same. More particularly, the thermoelectric generator includes an ionically conductive active layer containing a polyanion including an anionic group and a counter cation in a repeat unit thereof; a conductive polymer; and a polyvalent crosslinking agent as a single molecule including a plurality of acid functional groups. First and second electrodes are disposed to be connected to the ionically conductive active layer.
