Thermoelectric technology generates energy by a temperature difference by utilizing body temperature, naturally occurring heat, and heat discarded from vehicles or industries, which is suitable as a future industrial technology emphasizing sustainability and environmental friendliness. Ionic thermoelectric materials have excellent energy harvesting properties based on the Soret effect. In this study, a wearable thermoelectric module device optimized for high charging property and industrial applicability was fabricated using transparent polymer composite film having ionic and electronic conductive channels. In the hydrogel type polymer medium with high ionic thermoelectric properties, the electrically conductive polymer was co-polymerized to form a mixed ionic-electronic conductive channel. Changes in thermoelectric properties were investigated according to the content of components in the polymer composite, and conditions for optimizing thermoelectric properties according to transparency, humidity, and thickness conditions were investigated. Based on the optimized device, a body-worn module device dyed with a water-soluble dye was fabricated. |
