However, because most heat sources in the environment possess curved surfaces, TEGs must be both bendable and stretchable. We propose a flexible TEG using a pop-up kirigami structure obtained by cutting a defined pattern into the substrate. Our pop-up kirigami TEG has conformable thermal contact and cooling surfaces as well as high bendability and stretchability. As a result, the pop-up kirigami TEG exhibits higher output power compared with conventional flexible TEGs and also shows stable power generation even against curved heat sources. In addition, we attached the pop-up kirigami TEG to human skin and succeeded in capturing changes in human body temperature. Therefore, the proposed pop-up kirigami TEG can be expected to greatly promote the spread of Internet of Things sensors and wearable devices in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal Title \/\u63b2\u8f09\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u30ca\u30eb\u540d npj Flexible Electronics Publication Year and Month \/\u63b2\u8f09\u5e74\u6708 October, 2025 Paper Title \/\u8ad6 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[218,217],"class_list":["post-82896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-impact-en","tag-impact"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82896"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82897,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82896\/revisions\/82897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
