Design, Synthesis, and Morphological Behavior of Polymer Gel-Based Materials for Thermoelectric Devices: Recent Progress and Perspectives

초록

The current level of achievement in obtaining suitable polymer gel-based materials for efficient applications in thermoelectric devices is insufficient, although a substantial amount of research has already been performed. In this context, further investigations are necessary to design and synthesize polymer gel-based materials for ionic thermoelectric device applications. Polymer gel-based materials have attracted extensive consideration because of their multiple benefits, including easy processing, eco-friendly waste, and versatility, making them excellent materials for ionic thermoelectric devices. However, the design and synthesis of suitable polymer gel-based materials for ionic thermoelectric devices are still challenging areas of research. The surface morphological topography of prepared polymer gels is an important issue in thermoelectric device applications. In this review, significant approaches for the design and synthesis of polymer gel-based materials are discussed. This review may provide an important reference for upcoming perceptions on the design and synthesis of polymer gel materials for thermoelectric devices.
