High thermoelectric performance of flexible Ag/Ag2 Se composite film on nylon for low-grade energy harvesting

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.08.059

Abstract

Abstract: In this work, Ag/Ag₂ Se composite films with excellent thermoelectric (TE) properties and flexibility are prepared based on a simple one-pot method. By adjusting the nominal ratios of Ag/Se, an optimal Ag/Ag₂ Se composite film shows a large power factor of ∼2275 μW m^-1 K^-2 at 300 K. Such an outstand-ing TE performance of the composite film is due to the unique microstructure and the synergistic effect between the Ag and Ag₂ Se. Meanwhile, the composite film also shows outstanding flexibility ( ∼91.8% of the initial electrical conductivity is maintained, and the S is unchanged after 1500 bending cycles with a bending radius of 4 mm). Furthermore, a 4-leg flexible TE generator assembled with the optimal film produces a voltage of 14.06 mV and 4.96 μW at a temperature difference of 30.4 K. This work provides a new inspiration for the preparation of flexible Ag2 Se-based films with excellent TE performance near room temperature.

Key words: Thermoelectric, Ag/Ag₂ Se, Flexible, Film, Power generator
