Nanoparticle-loaded highly flexible fibrous structures exhibiting desirable thermoelectric properties

摘要: Abstract Thermoelectric, the science of transforming heat to electrical energy or vice versa, provides possibility reserve losses as an energy, which is called green energy. In recent years, producing a wearing thermoelectric generator that capable using human body temperature receives great interest. this research, nanocomposite Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were used in order produce current from losses. The structures prepared two methods electrospinning and coating fabrics with homogenous solution PVP, CNTs CuO nanoparticles. SEM, XRD, TEM FTIR analysis study structural morphological characteristics nanocomposite. results showed fabric coated mixture 20:20 (wt%) CNT nano-particles had Seebeck coefficient 39.21 μV/K conductivity 3.5 × 10−2 S/cm best properties. Moreover, indicated nanofibers fabricated via consisted (CuO: CNT) up 29.13 μV/K 2.114 × 10−4 S/cm.
