Research on 3D-Printed Micro-Nano Energy Harvesting Devices

This study explores the fabrication of thermoelectric power generation devices with three-dimensional structures using direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing technology. A rheologically tailored, printable thermoelectric ink is developed to enable precise 3D structuring. A unique device architecture is designed, integrating absorptive, reflective, conductive, and insulating layers, all fabricated entirely through 3D printing. This configuration facilitates the creation of multiple temperature gradients, enhancing thermoelectric output. The device is capable of harvesting temperature differences between the human body and the surrounding environment to generate electricity. Furthermore, the integration of a backend power management circuit allows the device to drive low-power sensors and other electronic components, demonstrating significant potential for future research and applications.
