## Description

- description: 'Wearable thermoelectric generators (w-TEGs) provide a reliable power
    generation method for self-powered wearable electronic devices. However, there
    has been a lack of research regarding the comfort of w-TEGs. Here we propose a
    novel design for a comfortable w-TEG system with high output power based on sandwiched
    thermoelectric (TE) model. This model paves the way for simultaneously optimizing
    comfort (skin temperature and pressure perception) and output power by systematically
    considering a variety of thermal resistive environments and bending states, the
    properties of the TE and encapsulation materials, and the device structure. To
    verify this strategy, we fabricated a w-TEG using Mg-based TE materials for the
    first time. These materials have great potential for replacing traditional Bi2Te3-based
    materials and enabled our w-TEG with a power density of 18.4 μW cm-2 under a wearing
    pressure of 0.8 kPa and with a skin temperature of 33 °C, ensuring the wearer’s
    comfort. '
