Renewable base for thermoelectric textiles

Renewable base for thermoelectric textiles The cellulose threads have been used in a thermoelectric textile that generates a small amount of electricity from body heat. 15th March 2021 A thread made of conductive cellulose is paving the way for electronic textiles made from renewable materials. A research team at Chalmers University of Technology has already sewn these electrically-conductive cellulose threads into a fabric using a standard household sewing machine to produce a thermoelectric textile that generates a small amount of electricity when it is heated on one side – for example, by body heat. At a temperature difference of 37 degrees Celsius, the textile can generate around 0.2 microwatts of electricity.

Answering the Call for Renewable Materials for Electronic Textiles

Electronic textiles offer revolutionary new opportunities in various fields, in particular healthcare. But experts say that to be sustainable, they need to be made of renewable materials. A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has found that a thread made of conductive cellulose offers fascinating and practical possibilities for electronic textiles. “Miniature, wearable, electronic gadgets are ever more common in our daily lives. But currently, they are often dependent on rare, or in some cases toxic, materials. They are also leading to a gradual build-up of great mountains of electronic waste. There is a real need for organic, renewable materials for use in electronic textiles,” said Sozan Darabi, a doctoral student at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology and the Wallenberg Wood Science Center, and lead author of the scientific article, which was recently published in
