Flexible thin film thermocouples: From structure, material, fabrication to application

Flexible thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs) have been garnering interest as temperature sensors due to the advantages of being flexible, ultrathin, and ultralight. Additionally, they have fast response times and enable detection of temperature. These properties have made them suitable for applications...

description Flexible thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs) have been garnering interest as temperature sensors due to the advantages of being flexible, ultrathin, and ultralight. Additionally, they have fast response times and enable detection of temperature. These properties have made them suitable for applications such as wearable electronics, healthcare, portable personal devices, and smart detection systems. This review presents the progress in the development of flexible TFTCs. The mechanism, structural design, materials, fabrication methods, and related applications of flexible TFTCs are also elaborated. Finally, future development directions of flexible TFTCs are discussed such as wide-range temperature measurement, multiple sensor integration, and achieving reliable cold-end compensation systems.
