Physics-guided co-designing flexible thermoelectrics with techno-economic sustainability for low-grade heat harvesting

Yi Zhou et al.

Summary: Flexible thermoelectric harvesting of low-grade heat is hindered by low efficiency and high cost. In this study, we demonstrate an unconventional approach to convert low-grade heat into electricity with a 25.3% enhancement in power-cost ratio compared to conventional methods. The reduced material usage and optimal electrical matching lead to energy consumption reduction, electricity savings, and CO2 emission reduction for large-scale industrial production, reshaping the development of flexible thermoelectrics for sustainable heat harvesting. Our findings also offer a cost-effective strategy for electronic co-design in heat management/recovery frontiers.
