This project aims to synthesise flexible redox gel-electrolyte interpenetrated electrodes for an eco-friendly prototype wearable thermo-electrochemical cell that can power body-worn low-power wearable electronics. Wearable devices in the future are expected to include products related to personal wellness and healthcare and medical technology. These devices require a sustainable power source (without having to change a battery) for real time monitoring/communication. Turning body-heat into electricity by wearable thermo-electrochemical cells may provide a solution. The project could also contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse emissions.

该项目旨在合成柔性氧化还原凝胶-电解质互穿电极，用于环保的可穿戴式热电化学电池原型，为身体穿戴的低功率可穿戴电子设备提供动力。预计未来可穿戴设备将包括与个人健康以及医疗保健和医疗技术相关的产品。这些设备需要可持续的电源(无需更换电池)以进行实时监控/通信。通过可穿戴式热电化学电池将体热转化为电能可能会提供一种解决方案。该项目还可能有助于减少温室气体排放。
