As the practical demand for flexible power-conversion devices increases, the development of high-performance alternatives to brittle inorganic thermoelectric (TE) materials is essential. Flexible TE generators enable conformal contact with heat sources of arbitrary shape such as the human body, which offers an opportunity to realize self-powered wearable applications. Organic polymers, nano-carbons, and their hybrid materials have been investigated as possible alternatives for flexible TE materials due to their well-known advantages including flexibility, light-weight, and easy processability. Among them, the hybrid materials have great potential for use in flexible TE materials because of their high electrical conductivities and controllable Seebeck coefficients. Herein, we show the rationally designed flexible hybrid-materials with excellent TE performance. The strategy proposed here shows great potential for the preparation of flexible/or stretchable power-conversion devices. |
