a A flexible module prepared from solution-processable Te NW inks in an unconventional thin-film leg-geometry. b Module n- and p-type legs drop-cast onto Kapton substrate to make the array shown in a. c Infrared image depicting a temperature gradient of 15 °C established across the thin-film module. d Total module open-circuit voltage (VOC) generated as a result of the Seebeck effect as a function of the number of n- and p-type legs connected in series in the module depicted in a–c. Additive nature of the VOC confirms the proper working of the module.
