Hybrid inorganic-organic superlattices show promise for flexible thermoelectric applications, yet they suffer from limited performance. Here, the authors devise a strategy for carrier optimization in a hybrid inorganic-organic superlattice of TiS2[tetrabutylammonium] x [hexylammonium] y , achieving an ultrahigh power factor of 904 μW m−1 K−2.
