摘　　要：Given the increasing demand for distributed electricity,there is a burning desire to harvest electricity from renewable sources using environmentally friendly methods.Thermoelectric (TE) materials can meet this requirement not only because of their ability to convert heat directly into electricity,enabling energy harvesting from waste heat and natural heat resources,but also because more than 60%of the energy is lost as waste heat [1].The discovery of the TE effect dates back to the 1820s when T.M.Seebeck observed electricity generation at the junction of two conductors with different temperatures.Additionally,when a voltage is applied to TE materials,they can create a temperature difference to enable solid-state cooling (known as the Peltier effect).Therefore,the TE effect promises both sustainable energy solutions and temperature control technologies.Over the past two decades,the urgent demand for powering ubiquitous Internet of Things devices has sparked significant interest in flexible thermoelectrics(F-TEs),which raises an intriguing question:Is the intrinsically flexible polymer an important candidate for state-of-the-art F-TEs applications?
