Now Body Heat Will Charge Mobile Phones, IIT Mandi Scientists Find the Process

New Delhi: Researchers at IIT Mandi have produced materials that can convert body heat into electricity. It means that using this material, electronic gadgets like mobile phones will get charged by our body heat.

Details about the thermonuclear material developed in IIT Mandi, have been published in German scientific journal Angewandte Chemie.

Dr Ajay Soni, Associate Professor at IIT Mandi’s School of Physical Sciences, who led the research shared the finding in a post on X, “Here is the final version of our recent work on flexible thermoelectric generator and human touch sensor with thermoelectric effects, published in @angew_chem. Interesting nanomaterials and outcome.” Dr Soni said in the post.

As per the study, the device can charge almost any electronic gadget by using body heat.

The research team created the thermoelectric module from silver telluride nanowire. “Charging low power flexible electronic devices is no longer a problem. These devices will be charged by the heat of the human body. We have developed a thermoelectric module for this,” Dr Soni said about the discovery.
