The fabrication of a flexible thermoelectric (TE) device that contains flexible, all‐inorganic hybrid thin films (p‐type single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)/Sb2Te3 and n‐type reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/Bi2Te3) is reported. The optimized power factors of the p‐type and n‐type hybrid thin films at...
