  Here we report a record thermoelectric power factor of up to 160 $\mu$ W m-1
K-2 for the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). This result is
achieved through the combination of high-temperature rubbing of thin films
together with the use of a large molybdenum dithiolene p-dopant with a high
electron affinity. Comparison of the UV-vis-NIR spectra of the chemically doped
samples to electrochemically oxidized material reveals an oxidation level of
10%, i.e. one polaron for every 10 repeat units. The high power factor arises
due to an increase in the charge-carrier mobility and hence electrical
conductivity along the rubbing direction. We conclude that P3HT, with its
facile synthesis and outstanding processability, should not be ruled out as a
potential thermoelectric material.
