From: Flexible thermoelectric generator and energy management electronics powered by body heat
Stress contours of the proposed low-stress electrode arrangement (a) and the conventional configuration (b) of the FTEG. c Comparison of the stress threshold ratio of two electrode arrangements in relation to the deflection of the FTEG. d Temperature distribution of the bent FTEG at \(\Delta\)T = 12 K. The inset shows the local enlargement view with red arrows indicating the direction of the heat flow. e Voltage and power in relation to the current for the FTEG at different temperature gradients. f Power, voltage, and current generated by the FTEG as a function of the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides
