“…3g and h). 13,27,28,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Moreover, compared to other types of wearable cooling textiles, such as radiative cooling (o200 W m À2 ) and phase-change cooling (o100 W m À2 ), our TET showed much higher cooling performance in terms of the cooling power, cooling temperature, or cooling duty cycle (Table S7, ESI †).…”

Multifunctional Wearable Thermoelectrics for Personal Thermal Management

“…Sivarenjini et al [70] proposed a flexible TED for personal thermoregulation, which was capable of achieving 3 °C temperature drop in the hot environment (35 °C). Zhang et al [71] also designed a wearable TEDs for personal thermoregulation by introducing the liquid metal for conducting connection and improving the flexibility. [71] Under the I of 1 A, the ΔT of the wearable TED can approach ≈7 K. [71] Figure 3.…”

PEDOT/CNT/Bi2Te3 coated porous thermoelectric yarns for textile based wearable thermoelectric generator

“…power [3,4]. Now, the two-dimensional thin film is still the most applied shape for the existing FTEGs [5,6]. Although these polymer-based thin film FTEGs are flexible, their polymer substrates lacking air permeability make them uncomfortable to wear, which are not the ideal choice for wearable FTEGs [7,8].…”
