Background
Along with the rapid development of the technology of the Internet of things and the requirement of building a smart city based on the requirements of China, more and more sensors or electronic equipment are applied to the system of the Internet of things and play an increasingly important role. In order to effectively ensure that a large number of discrete sensors or electronics can continue to operate autonomously and independently, self-supporting energy technology, where the sensors or electronics capture energy from the surrounding environment for continuous power supply, is a critical technology and is a hot spot of research. The thermoelectric conversion material and the thermoelectric conversion device can realize direct mutual conversion between heat energy and electric energy, have the advantages of easy miniaturization and flexibility, no noise and emission, safety and reliability and the like, and are very suitable for small sensors or electronic equipment applied in an Internet of things system.
Thermoelectric conversion devices based on electron-transporting semiconductor thermoelectric conversion materials are typical representatives of converting thermal energy into electrical energy by utilizing the Seebeck effect in the presence of a temperature difference, through the directional transport of electrons. At present, the adopted and researched thermoelectric conversion material captures energy in a room temperature environment, and can achieve mW-level output power for a sensor in the Internet of things to work, but the thermoelectric potential value is difficult to break through +/-200 mu V/K due to the influence of the electroacoustic transport behavior of a semiconductor. This means that if a voltage between 1 and 3V is to be obtained for the sensor to operate properly, thousands of pairs of n/p thermoelectric pairs need to be connected in series [1] Greatly increases the complexity and integration of the device, or requires the voltage to be increased by an external boost chip [2] As a result, power consumption is increased and cost is increased.
Thermoelectric conversion materials based on ion migration have unique advantages in achieving conversion of low-grade waste heat energy into electrical energy. Such an ion type thermoelectric conversion material [3] The oxidation/reduction couple in the electrolyte is utilized to continuously convert environmental heat energy into electric energy under the temperature gradient formed by the temperature difference, and toxic and harmful gas is not released, and the generated thermoelectric potential is in the mV/K order. Therefore, compared with the high raw materials of the electron transfer type semiconductor thermoelectric conversion device and the thermoelectric potential of mu V/K magnitude, the ionic thermoelectric conversion material has more advantages, is expected to replace the traditional solid semiconductor thermoelectric device in the temperature range below 100 ℃ and has wider application space.
The liquid ionic thermoelectric material studied at present uses oxidation/reduction couple and adopts thermo-electrochemical (thermo-chemical) effect to obtain thermoelectric potential with only a few mV/K, and meanwhile, a series of problems such as (1) liquid leakage problem exist, which seriously affect practical application; (2) Convection phenomenon resistance existing in solutionPreventing the internal heat transfer of the device and being unfavorable for the establishment of temperature difference [4-7] . Recently, X.Crispin [8] Group utilization of Soret effect on Na-containing + The ionic polyethylene oxide electrolyte obtains p-type thermoelectric potential of +11mV/K, L.Hu group [9] Using Soret effect on Na-containing + A p-type thermoelectric potential of +24mV/K was obtained in the polyethylene oxide electrolyte-impregnated cellulose membrane. But there is still a lack of n-type ionic thermoelectric materials that can be matched to their thermoelectric potential.

Detailed Description
The application will be described in further detail by means of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material of the present application obtains a high thermoelectric potential from the surrounding environment by the synergistic effect of the double effect of thermal diffusion (Soret) effect and thermoelectric chemical (thermochemical) effect. Specifically, a quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material comprising a gel matrix material, anions and cations (formed by soluble metal salts) and oxidation/reduction pairs (such as potassium ferricyanide/potassium ferrocyanide) is sandwiched between electrode plates to form an ionic thermoelectric conversion device, so that one electrode plate of the ionic thermoelectric conversion device is positioned at a hot end with a higher temperature, and the other electrode plate is positioned at a cold end with a lower temperature. As shown in the left panel of fig. 1, in the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material of the present application, cations are mainly bound by the gel matrix material with anions, and anions migrate to the cold-end electrode plates in the presence of a temperature field and aggregate to form an electric double layer structure, so that a thermoelectric potential is formed between the two electrode plates, which is the Soret effect. As in the middle of figure 1As shown in the figure, oxidation reaction Fe (CN) occurs at the hot end due to the existence of oxidation/reduction couple in the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material 6 4- -e→Fe(CN) 6 3- The released electrons are gathered on the hot end electrode plate, and are connected through an external circuit, the electrons return to the cold end, and a reduction reaction Fe (CN) occurs near the cold end electrode plate 6 3- +e→Fe(CN) 6 4- The oxidation products and the reduction products return to the counter electrode under convective diffusion. Thereby a thermoelectric potential is formed between the two electrode plates, which is a thermo-chemical (thermo-chemical) effect. As shown in the right panel of fig. 1, the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material of the present application can generate a high thermoelectric potential between two electrode sheets by the synergistic effect of the Soret effect and the thermo-chemical (thermo-chemical) effect.
The quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material can be used for manufacturing ionic thermoelectric conversion devices. Because the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material takes the flexible cementing matrix material as a matrix, a very soft ionic thermoelectric conversion device can be manufactured by using the flexible electrode plate and the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material. Fig. 2 shows a representative flexible physical diagram of an ionic thermoelectric conversion device comprising a quasi-solid state ionic thermoelectric material and a flexible electrode sheet of the present application. The exemplary ionic thermoelectric conversion device shown in fig. 2 is fabricated to a length of about 4cm and is very flexible and can be crimped over a finger. The potential application prospect of the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material and the ionic thermoelectric conversion device in the wearable field and the Internet of things field is shown. The ion type thermoelectric conversion device can be used for further manufacturing a flexible thermoelectric generation device and flexible wearable equipment, and product development and application in the wearable field and the Internet of things field are realized.

As shown in FIG. 3, the open-circuit voltage and the temperature difference of the ionic thermoelectric conversion device in this embodiment have a corresponding relationship, and the slope after linear fitting corresponds to the thermoelectric value, and the obtained thermoelectric value is-9.5 mV/K.
Application example
The thermoelectric values of the ionic thermoelectric conversion devices of examples 1-9 above were between-1.6 and-17.0 mV/K, whereas as described in the "background art" section above, the thermoelectric values of conventional semiconductor thermoelectric conversion materials hardly broke through + -0.2 mV/K. Therefore, the ion type thermoelectric converter of the applicationThe element can obtain high thermoelectric voltage from the surrounding environment, is 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the traditional semiconductor thermoelectric material, and can be compared with a shoulder X.Crispin group [8] And group L.Hu [9] The obtained p-type thermoelectric potential shows good application prospect in thermoelectric generation.
The thermoelectric cell manufactured in example 8 was used to manufacture a thermoelectric device and a wearable apparatus. As shown in fig. 4, 25 thermoelectric conversion units fabricated in example 8 were sequentially connected in series with a conductive copper tape, and a thermoelectric device was fabricated. The temperature difference power generation device is tightly stuck on the corresponding part of the back of the hand by using the transparent adhesive tape, and the flexible wearable temperature difference power generation device is manufactured.
Fig. 4 also shows a schematic diagram of open circuit voltage of the manufactured wearable device generated by using human body temperature difference. As shown in the figure, after the flexible wearable thermoelectric generation device is worn on the hand, the temperature of one side of the thermoelectric generation device close to the skin of the hand (T Skin of a person ) A temperature (T) higher than a side of the thermoelectric power generation device close to the ambient air Environment (environment) ) Thereby forming a temperature difference at both sides of the thermoelectric power generation device, and generating a voltage through the Soret effect and the thermo-chemical (thermo-chemical) effect of the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material in the thermoelectric power generation device. The voltage gradually increased over time and at 16 minutes Δv reached 2.15V. That is, in the present application example, only 25 thermoelectric conversion units constitute the thermoelectric power generation device, and a thermal voltage of 2.15V can be realized.
This means that the thermoelectric conversion device based on the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material of the present application can meet the requirement of the operating voltage between the usual sensors 1 to 3V by only tens or at most tens of thermoelectric conversion devices, and the complexity and integration of the device can be reduced. In contrast, as described in the background section above, using thermoelectric conversion devices based on electron-transporting semiconductor thermoelectric conversion materials would require thousands of n/p thermoelectric pairs in series to achieve an operating voltage between 1 and 3V, greatly increasing the complexity and integration of the device. Therefore, the thermoelectric conversion device, the thermoelectric power generation device and the wearable equipment manufactured by the quasi-solid ionic thermoelectric material have wide application prospects in the technical field of Internet of things and the technical field of wearable equipment.
