From “Thermoelectric Rubber Band” to Industrial Thermoelectric Power: The Next Era of Energy Harvesting

A Chinese research team recently published a groundbreaking achievement in Nature — the world’s first “thermoelectric rubber band.” This new material can convert body heat into electricity, directly powering smartwatches and other wearables, demonstrating the enormous potential of thermoelectric technology in everyday life.

In the industrial field, Galaxy PCB has been advancing thermoelectric generation (TEG) applications. Our 40W TGM modules have been successfully deployed in a steel mill’s radiant heat recovery system, with a current demonstration project reaching 500W power output. This is the world’s first commercial module designed specifically for radiant heat recovery. We are also developing a fixed “hanging type” system, combined with mobile energy storage, to provide complete solutions for high-temperature industrial waste-heat utilization.

From self-powered wearables to industrial waste-heat recovery, these innovations all point in the same direction — heat energy is emerging as one of the most promising renewable energy sources of the future.

At Galaxy PCB, we are committed to driving this transformation, turning the vision of energy harvesting — from the human body to large-scale industries — into reality.
