Abstract

Thermoelectric materials, as one new kind of energy materials, can realize the direct conversion of thermal and electrical energy, which have important applications in power generation and refrigeration. Compared with traditional thermoelectric materials, flexible thermoelectric materials demonstrate excellent application prospects in wearable devices and flexible electronics fields, due to the advantages of being bendable, a lightweight and environmentally friendly. At present, how to further improve the performance of flexible thermoelectric materials is the focus, especially the collaborative optimization of flexibility andthermoelectric properties. In this paper, we have reviewed the research progress of polymer-based flexible thermoelectric materials, carbon-based flexible thermoelectric materials and inorganic semiconductor flexible thermoelectric materials, introduced their characteristics, performance optimization and preparation methods, and summarized the applications of flexible thermoelectric materials in the fields of electronics, medicine and industry. Also, based on the shortcomings of flexible thermoelectric materials, the future research directions are prospected.

Key words
