In this presentation, we report textile-type multi-energy harvesters through efficient from simultaneous thermoelectric and electrokinetic energy conversion using doped conjugated polymers (CPs). We examined various CPs with different side-chains and optimized the molecular doping of the CPs to achieve optimal thermoelectric power factors and transpiration driven electrokinetic power generation. Furthermore, compatibility of CPs with textile substrates enabled demonstration of wearable energy convertors. This is the first report of multi-energy harvesting platform utilizing green energy source (heat and water), and suggest potential applicability to efficient energy generator from human body heat and sweat in wearable device forms
