The primary forms of energy that can be harvested by these advanced textiles include:
Solar Energy: Photovoltaic cells made from nanomaterials can be integrated into fabrics to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. Thermal Energy: Thermoelectric materials at the nanoscale can convert body heat or environmental thermal differences into electricity. Mechanical Energy: Piezoelectric nanomaterials can generate electricity from mechanical movements, such as walking or stretching.
