The Applications of Inorganic/Organic hybrid Bi_2Te_3 Flexible Thermoelectric Materials

摘要

The number of wearable devices users is increasing owing to IoT (Internet of Things) epoch approaching; there include smart watches, smart glasses even the smart clothes and sensors for medical and sports monitoring. Many wearable devices developers are focusing on how to reduce the power dissipation and how to import the renewable energy to be the power source in the device. Thus, flexible thermoelectric module (FTEM) is an attractive approach because of their ability and suitability to power miniature electrical devices for wearable applications via human body temperature.
