A research report published in Science magazine, led by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has claimed that gelatin could be used to power IoT devices in the future, using only the heat generated from the human body.
An article by Chris Edwards on the SUSTech Website said Associate Professor Weishu Liu (MSE, SUSTech) had led his research team, in collaboration with Professor Gang Chen at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to develop a proof-of-concept wearable device powered by gelatin.
The paper was published Online in the high-impact academic journal, Science as First Release, under the title, “Giant thermopower of ionic gelatin near room temperature,” on April 30, 2020.
