MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511034658 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, New Delhi, on April 9, 2025, for 'a free-standing flexible thermoelectric generator.'
Inventor(s) include Jitendra Pratap Singh; Jamal Ahmad Khan; and Dr. Sakshi Kapoor.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a free-standing flexible thermoelectric generator (F-TEG) and a fabrication method of the same. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a free-standing thermoelectric generator made up of sulfur alloyed silver selenide (Ag2Se) films to work as a flexible thermoelectric generator (F-TEG). The free-standing thermoelectric generator is a completely inorganic and comprises of free-standing films, whose thermoelectric legs is composed of sulfur alloyed silver selenide. The flexible thermoelectric device with high output performance which is made of completely inorganic components is demonstrated in disclosure. The generator consists of five thermoelectric legs which are electrically connected in series and thermally in parallel using copper wires and silver paste. The microstructural studies reveal the formation of the crystalline and amorphous domains in sulfur alloyed silver selenide that not only improve the flexibility but also leads to high thermoelectric performance of the generator."
