The patterned elastic fabric substrate fits the rigid cuboids well, together with serpentine structured cloth electrodes, rendering uf-TEG with excellent integrity and flexibility, thereby achieving a highly functional TE performance when strain reaches 30% or on arbitrarily shaped heat sources. The uf-TEGs show a large peak power of 64.10\u2005<i>\u03bc<\/i>W for a temperature difference of 33.24 K with a high voltage output of 111.49\u00a0mV, which is superior compared to previously reported fabric-based TEG devices, and it is still functional after the water immersion test. Besides the energy harvesting function, with both the temperature sensing ability and the touch perception, this uf-TEG is demonstrated as the electrical skin when mounted on a robot. Moreover, due to the wind-sensitive performance and self-power ability, the uf-TEGs are assembled on cloth as wearable health and motion monitoring devices.<\/h3>\n<p>More information: <strong>DOI: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/advs.202103574\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/advs.202103574<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Published website link: <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/advs.202103574\">https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/advs.202103574<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Flexible thermoelectric generators (f-TEGs) have demonstrated great potential in wearable self-powered health monitoring devices.
