The rising demand for wearable electronic devices has led to considerable interest in flexible and stretchable energy-harvesting materials. Especially, the flexible thermoelectric generators (TEGs), which can directly convert thermal energy into electricity, have great potentials as a sustainably auxiliary power sources for flexible devices. Even though the organic and hybid TE materials possess unique advantages of light weight, mechanical flexibility, and facile process, their low electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient should be further improved for developing the practical TEGs with high power output. Herein, we introduce the our various flexible organic and hybrid TE materials and the printed flexible TEGs in terms of TE performance and geometric structure of TEGs . Finally, we try to propose a strategy to develop the high performance TE materials and flexible TEGs using the printing process.
