Title:
FLEXIBLE THERMOELECTRIC MODULES AND METHODS OF FABRICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/161202
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Flexible thermoelectric modules and processes of fabrication are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a thermoelectric nanowire module is disclosed, which includes forming a polymer mold pattern on a substrate and depositing nanowires in nanoporous templates. In another aspect, the flexible thermoelectric module fabricated herein includes a flexible layer comprising a polymer which is stable at a temperature of at least 200 °C, a plurality of pillars embedded in the flexible layer. The plurality of pillars extends through the flexible layer and contacts an insulation layer on one side of flexible layer and a back layer on the other side of the flexible layer.
