“…According to their deformability, there are two major types of such generators. On one hand, rigid TEGs have been developed and applied to important applications such as power generation, refrigeration, and temperature sensing . On the other hand, flexible thermoelectric energy generators, which are deformable, lightweight, and cost effective, have been explored for large‐area, waste heat recovery, and wearable or mobile electronics applications, in which both large mechanical deformations and high electrical stabilities are greatly demanded.…”

Fiber‐based flexible thermoelectric energy generators are 3D deformable, lightweight, and desirable for applications in large‐area waste heat recovery, and as energy suppliers for wearable or mobile electronic systems in which large mechanical deformations, high energy conversion efficiency, and electrical stability are greatly demanded. These devices can be manufactured at low or room temperature under ambient conditions by established industrial processes, offering cost‐effective and reliable products in mass quantity. This article presents a critical overview and review of state‐of‐the‐art fiber‐based thermoelectric generators, covering their operational principle, materials, device structures, fabrication methods, characterization, and potential applications. Scientific and practical challenges along with critical issues and opportunities are also discussed.

“…[9][10][11] Most of the conventional TEGs are rigid, bulky, and heavy, used in applications such as waste heat power generation, refrigeration, and temperature sensing. [12] In recent years, flexible TEGs, which are deformable, light weighted, cost effective, and environmental friendly, have been explored for wearable applications where high deformability and stability are greatly demanded. [13,14] A schematic structure of a common flexible TEG is shown in Figure 1a.…”

Wearable thermoelectric generators are solid‐state devices that produce electric energy by harvesting thermal energy from human body or environments. They normally work at relatively mild temperatures that are suitable for human, being light, compact, deformable to the 3D surface, safe to human and environment, comfortable, durable, and cost‐effective. As the potential power suppliers for wearable or mobile microelectronic systems, they have attracted considerable attention. Herein, a critical overview and review of the state‐of‐the‐art wearable thermoelectric generators are presented, covering their operational principles, functional and structural materials, device structures, fabrication processes, and potential applications. Also theoretical aspects of their working mechanisms are included and the scientific and practical challenges are discussed.
