The present application belongs to the technical field of
thermoelectric conversion, and particularly relates to a self-repairing thermoelectric hydrogel based on
lignin, a
thermoelectric conversion device, and a preparation method and application thereof. The present application successfully prepares a self-repairing thermoelectric hydrogel based on
lignin by compounding specific inorganic small-molecule
thermoelectric materials with
cyclodextrin-modified
lignin sulfonate and
adamantane acrylate. In the formation process of the thermoelectric hydrogel, the inorganic small-molecule
thermoelectric materials are uniformly dispersed in the
network structure of the hydrogel, so that the hydrogel has excellent mechanical properties; the host-guest interaction introduced by the
cyclodextrin-modified lignin
sulfonate enables the hydrogel to have excellent self-repairing ability; the hydrogel also has good
temperature sensitivity; the above characteristics greatly improve the
thermal effect,
thermoelectric conversion performance and electrochemical performance of the thermoelectric conversion device prepared based on the above thermoelectric hydrogel; and the preparation method of the above thermoelectric hydrogel is simple and easy to operate, the conditions are mild, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and the thermoelectric hydrogel has a wide application prospect.
