3D extruded composite thermoelectric threads for flexible energy harvesting
Flexible thermoelectric composite threads are reported for wearable thermal energy harvesting platforms where rigid materials lack compatibility. Thermoelectric thread modules are demonstrated, and pressure-dependence shows thread compression to be essential for improving electrical conductivity.
