Abstract
Ultrathin and Flexible Self-powered Temperature Sensor Based on Sputtered Tellurium Nanoparticles
Highlights
The population of the world is increasing rapidly and, with the increase in population, the demand for energy is increasing
Waste heat can be used as an input to drive self-powered sensors and it works on the principle of the thermoelectric effect, an effect that produces an electrical output whenever a temperature gradient is created
The sensor can detect the surface temperature accurately owing to its small size, small thickness, and flexibility
Summary
The population of the world is increasing rapidly and, with the increase in population, the demand for energy is increasing. As the energy resources are limited, scientists are looking for alternate energy sources. Waste heat is present in the environment and harvesting it in the form of green renewable energy is required urgently.(1) Nanogenerators are promising waste heat energy harvesters. Waste heat can be used as an input to drive self-powered sensors and it works on the principle of the thermoelectric effect, an effect that produces an electrical output whenever a temperature gradient is created. The concern for human health condition is growing. Body temperature is a vital sign and an important indicator for health monitoring. Temperature sensors are an important tool for monitoring several activities of the human body. If these temperature sensors are rigid and large, ISSN 0914-4935 © MYU K.K. https://myukk.org/
