Abstract
With the advent of the information age, wearable thermoelectric fabric devices have garnered significant attention for their ability to harness environmental waste heat and body heat to supply convenient, reliable, and environmentally friendly electricity for next-generation wearable electronics. However, the complex production process and unstable power supply restrict their development. Here, we report a high-performance flexible, dependable, and wearable p-type thermoelectric device consisting of silk threads/polyaniline/amino multiwalled carbon nanotubes through dyeing process. By optimizing the weaving structure and simple assembly, this p-type fabric device generates a voltage of 0.749 ± 0.003 mV, a maximum power of 0.326 ± 0.007 nW, and a power density of 1087.532 ± 22.985 nW·m−2 at a temperature difference of 90 ℃. Besides, this device also possesses an excellent photo-thermoelectric conversion capability and the assembled fabric bracelet can generate an output voltage of approximately 6.1 mV outdoors when worn on the hand of the experimental personnel. This fabric device also exhibits a superb reliable property even after 5000 times of folding. This strategy makes it easy to manufacture a thermoelectric fabric device on a large scale and provides a promising way for wearable electronics.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
