Abstract
at 353 K. Besides, the 10 wt% SnSe/PEDOT:PSS film exhibited excellent stability with only a 9% increase in resistance after 1000 bends under a bending radius of 4 mm. When the temperature gradient is 50 K, a flexible thermoelectric generator fabricated by 3 legs of the 10 wt% SnSe/PEDOT:PSS film has an open-circuit voltage and maximum output electrical power of 3.2 mV and 13.73 nW, respectively, which demonstrates a great potential application to power wearable flexible electronic devices.
