摘要: A low heat flux flexible thermoelectric generator woven with semiconducting strings. The thermoelectric strings have a repeated structure of (metal)-(p-type semiconductor)-(metal)-(n-type semiconductor) materials and are formulated with a continuous structure forming a module. In this woven structure, the thermoelectric strings are the warp threads and the insulator strings are the weft yarns. The p-type and n-type stripes are aligned to the same dimensions. A metal terminal at the end of the strings provides the electrical connections in a series with a serpentine pattern. Two electrically insulating films laminated on the top and bottom of this woven structure conduct the surface heat to the metal junctions on both the hot and cold sides. The small fill factor (low fractional area coverage of the thermoelectric leg) creates a high internal thermal resistance that is better matched to low heat flux sources such as human body for harvesting the maximum power output.
