Chip Talk > Pioneering Flexible Semiconductors for Sustainable Wearable Tech
Published April 25, 2025
Researchers at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have identified a promising new semiconductor material for use in wearable devices. This innovative material, enhanced using vacancy engineering, shows great potential for converting body heat into electricity, thereby eliminating the need for batteries in wearable tech.
The study, published in Nature Communication, demonstrates how manipulating atomic vacancies in the semiconductor improves both thermoelectric performance and flexibility, the latter being critical for the material's application in adaptable wearable solutions. This breakthrough not only advances the field of flexible electronics but aligns with growing sustainability demands in the semiconductor industry.
