An Ultra‑Thin Wearable Thermoelectric Paster Based on Structured Organic Ion Gel Electrolyte (IMAGE)
Caption
- All-solid-state organic ion gel electrolyte with superior thermal tolerance capability and environmental stability can well penetrate into the electrodes of thermoelectric paster to ensure an excellent interfacial contact.
- Inspired by the “onion epidermal cells” structure, the organic ion gel electrolyte supported by a porous polymer skeleton offers a considerable ZT figure according to the thermal expansion effect.
- Considering the compatibility between electrode and electrolyte, an ultrathin and skin-attachable i-TE paster was assembled to acquire a satisfactory Seebeck coefficient and used in various applications.
