Graphene-based Flexible Thermoelectric Generators for Heat Recovery Systems

This work describes a unique graphene-based thermoelectric generator that employs polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/ Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposites cast on commercial textiles and exhibits exceptional electrical and thermal capabilities while retaining flexibility, chemical stability, and corrosion resistance. Additionally, the size investigation of the thermoelectric generator is carried out. Overall, this novel thermoelectric generator can mark a considerable step forward in the field of energy generation from irregular surfaces.
