Abstract

= 70 K. Real-time application demonstration on an operating 3D printer reveals stable performance by generating 6-8 mV output, validating its functionality for autonomous IoT energy harvesting systems. This work establishes HMS/PANI composites as a flexible thermoelectric material where sophisticated composite design transcends individual phase limitations, paving the way for practical thermoelectric energy harvesting from diverse waste heat sources.
