Synergistic Design of Composite Ionogels With Enhanced Thermoelectric Properties, Mechanical Stretchability, and Sustainable Recyclability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
While flexible TE devices hold promise for converting low‐grade waste heat (e.g., from human skin or electronics) into usable electricity, existing materials suffer from three major limitations: 1) poor mechanical stretchability (failing to match human skin's elongation, ~20–30%), limiting wearability; 2) tradeoffs between thermoelectric efficiency (e ...

Two‐step annealing process drives high thermoelectric performance of n‐type Bi2Te3 flexible films

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
To address the relatively low carrier mobility in n‐type Bi2Te3 films prepared by magnetron sputtering, we developed a two‐step annealing process, including in situ and post‐annealing heat treatment. This method yields a high mobility (132.54 cm2 V−1 s−1) and S2σ (14.5 μW cm−1 K−2) by promoting pronounced grain growth and strengthening the preferred ...
