Inorganic-polymer composites have become promising materials to be processed by printing technologies because of their unique properties that allow the fabrication of flexible wearable electronics at reduced manufacturing costs. In the present work, a complete methodological process of assembling a flexible microthermoelectric generator based on inorganic-polymer materials is presented. The used microparticles were prepared by a top-down approach beginning with a previously prepared material by solid-state reaction and later scaled down through the use of ball milling. It was found that the necessity to proceed with a chemical treatment with HCl to reduce Bi2O3 present on the surface of the microparticle leads to a power factor (PF) of 2.29 mu W K-2 m(-1), which is two times higher than that of the untreated sample. On the fabrication of flexible inorganic-organic thermoelectric thick films based on Bi2Te3 microparticles (
