论文摘要:Wearable thermoelectric devices show promise as sustainable power source and personal thermoregulator for on-body applications. However, current devices are challenging to sustainably power wearable electronic systems under normal ambience (∼10 μW cm-2 at ∼289 K) or stably comfort human body under fervid outdoor ambience (>313 K). They have low room-temperature thermoelectric figure of merit (zT∼1) and unreachable overall thermal resistance matching with its surroundings. Here, we report a general method to directly design and fabricate thermally reconfigured thermoelectric textile to address these challenges. The thermoelectric textile using optimized pillars embedded in high-thermal-resistance fabric, outputs maximum power of ∼235-322 μW cm-2 in semi-quiescent air (289 K) and cooling effect of ∼15-23 K under fervid ambience of 318 K. The thermal reconfiguration enables overall thermal resistance matching in both pillar and device levels. We showcased a thermoelectric-powered hand gesture recognition glove system for users to communicate by typing in air with accuracy of 96.3% and remotely control robotic hand with precise spatial movements. We also demonstrated its potential in thermoregulation garment and helmet to extend the human thermal comfort zone to 261-318 K. We propose a general strategy that can increase device performances to demonstrate broad interdisciplinary application prospects.
