Sponge-like carbon nanotube thermoelectric generator easily molds to complex shapes and powers sensors

A Korean research team has developed a novel thermoelectric material and generator (TEG) that leverages sponge-like carbon nanotube (CNT) structures, improving the limitations of organic thermoelectric materials while retaining flexibility. The resulting device is expected to be useful in powering small-scale wearable sensors through thermal energy harvesting.
