Abstract

Highly robust and flexible n-type thermoelectric (TE) films based on Ag2Te nanoshuttle/polyvinylidene fluoride were prepared by a solution-processable method without a surfactant. A good power performance of over 30 μW (m K2)−1 at room temperature was achieved. Moreover, the synthesized fabrics also exhibited potential for application in flexible electronic devices with negligible performance change after 1000 bending cycles.
