Review of Flexible Temperature Sensing Networks for Wearable Physiological Monitoring

“…Numerous sensor devices have been realized to detect temperature through certain physical changes, including resistive temperature detectors (RTD), thermally sensitive resistors (thermistors), mercury thermometers, infrared sensors, thermocouple sensors, field‐effect transistors, optical sensors, silicon sensors, as well as luminescent materials, some of which have attracted substantial interest owing to their favorable properties . For instance, RTD sensors are widely utilized in many applications for their merits in high accuracy, fast response, physiological stability, simplicity of fabrication, and ease of mass production.…”

In situ measurement of temperature distribution within a single polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell

“…Generally, the larger the cell size is, the longer the TST is, and the TST of an inner component is shorter than that of the outside one. For example, it is reported in the literature that a PEMFC with a small reaction area and simple flow paths had a thermal time constant of about 900 s [30], and the temperatures on the surface of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) also took about 900 s to become steady [37]. The literature also shows that temperatures could not be steady within 700 s due to the liquid water [57].…”
