High performance n-type Ag2Se film on nylon membrane for flexible thermoelectric power generator.


ABSTRACT: Researches on flexible thermoelectric materials usually focus on conducting polymers and conducting polymer-based composites; however, it is a great challenge to obtain high thermoelectric properties comparable to inorganic counterparts. Here, we report an n-type Ag2Se film on flexible nylon membrane with an ultrahigh power factor ~987.4?±?104.1??Wm-1K-2 at 300?K and an excellent flexibility (93% of the original electrical conductivity retention after 1000 bending cycles around a 8-mm diameter rod). The flexibility is attributed to a synergetic effect of the nylon membrane and the Ag2Se film intertwined with numerous high-aspect-ratio Ag2Se grains. A thermoelectric prototype composed of 4-leg of the Ag2Se film generates a voltage and a maximum power of 18?mV and 460?nW, respectively, at a temperature difference of 30?K. This work opens opportunities of searching for high performance thermoelectric film for flexible thermoelectric devices.
