“…On the other hand, the Seebeck coefficient of these polymers is not inherently high, so fewer thermoelectric efficiencies compared to their inorganic counterparts are demonstrated. [26]. UV-VIS spectra for the PVDFTrFE/P3HT composite fibers exhibited the uniform incorporation of P3HT blend solution that was not impacted chemically by the ferroelectric polymer.…”

“…These materials have some flexibility at the micro/nanoscale, but they are prone to breakage when bent repeatedly or at a considerable corner. Simultaneously, the preparation techniques for these substances are rather complicated, requiring high temperatures in many cases [26][27][28]. Non-toxic, high precision, rapid response, high sensitivity, and high repeatability are other desirable qualities in flexible temperature sensors for wearable applications.…”

Wearable electronics are gaining widespread attention because of the potential applications of them in systems of wearable human care and health monitoring. These new devices are probably a collection of different applications like batteries, sensors, displays, and so on. In these respects, conductive fibers, inks, and fabrics were examined. On the field, three materials categories including carbon, metal, and polymer-based materials were investigated. Materials of carbon have advantages like good electrical conductivity, structural and inherent flexibility, high thermal and chemical stability, light weight, ease of chemical operation, and potential production of mass, enabling them to be a good candidate for wearable and flexible electronics. Conducting polymers have a number of drawbacks in their natural state; however, by combining them with other materials, these drawbacks can be solved. Conducting polymer composites have a wide range of applications in optoelectronic, electronic, and electrical sectors due to their synergetic effects. Liquid metal was bestowed with new-emerging characteristics and multifunctional applications. Due to the high surface tension and limited adherence on many surfaces, the manufacturing approach of patterning liquid metals on flexible substrates has received a lot of attention up to now.The current state of wearable materials as actuators and fabrication processes are discussed in this review paper.

“…N-type semiconductors follow the same effect, however, the heat and charge carriers are electrons rather than holes [41]. Electrons will move towards the cold side, which becomes negatively charged, as shown in Figure 7 [42,43]. Now, if the hot sides are connected electrically and the cold sides are linked by a load, a current would be created, and it would pass over the load.…”

Electricity plays a significant role in daily life and is the main component of countless applications. Thus, ongoing research is necessary to improve the existing approaches, or find new approaches, to enhancing power generation. The thermoelectric generator (TEG) is among the notable and widespread technologies used to produce electricity, and converts waste energy into electrical energy using the Seebeck effect. Due to the Seebeck effect, temperature change can be turned into electrical energy; hence, a TEG can be applied whenever there is a temperature difference. The present paper presents the theoretical background of the TEG, in addition to a comprehensive review of the TEG and its implementation in various fields. This paper also sheds light on the new technologies of the TEG and their related challenges. Notably, it was found that the TEG is efficient in hybrid heat recovery systems, such as the phase change material (PCM), heat pipe (HP), and proton exchange membrane (PEM), and the efficiency of the TEG has increased due to a set of improvements in the TEG’s materials. Moreover, results show that the TEG technology has been frequently applied in recent years, and all of the investigated papers agree that the TEG is a promising technology in power generation and heat recovery systems.

“…Due to these film properties, there is a significant reduction of the electrical impedance of biomedical devices in the biologically relevant frequency range (around 1000 Hz), and just this frequency corresponds to the typical pulse width of a neural signal (around 1-2 ms) [17]. Therefore, poly (3,4-alkylenedioxythiophene) and its derivatives are promising electronic materials used in organic bioelectronics for biosensing [18][19][20][21]. Carbon-based electrodes electrochemically coated with Poly(ProDOT) exhibit enhanced capacitive behavior and are promising materials for supercapacitor applications [22][23][24].…”

The present study is focused on the electrochemical properties of poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (Poly(ProDOT)), electrocoated on the single carbon-fiber microelectrode (SCFME) in different electrolytic media, with different solvent dielectric constants (35.9, 41.7, 47.5, 53.3, 59.1 and 64.9). The highest deposition charge density of 24.49 mC cm-2 and the highest specific capacitance of 23.17 mF cm-2 were obtained for Poly(ProDOT) synthesized in a medium with the lowest solvent dielectric constant (e = 35.9). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results of Poly(ProDOT) coated SCFME measured at open circuit potential showed continuously increased impedance magnitudes as ε was increased from 35.9 to 59.1. For all films, almost capacitive impedance responses at lower frequencies at least were obtained. The highest capacitance was observed for the polymer film synthesized in the medium of e = 35.9. The impedance of this film was also measured in different solvent mixtures with different dielectric constants at open circuit potential.
