Design of Substrate Stretchability Using Origami-Like Folding Deformation for Flexible Thermoelectric Generator

A stretchable thermoelectric (TE) generator was developed by using rigid BiTe-based TE elements and a non-stretchable substrate with origami-like folding deformation. Our stretchable TE generator contains flat sections, on which the rigid TE elements are arranged, and folded sections, which produce...
