Single‐crystal tin selenide (SnSe), a record holder of high‐performance thermoelectric materials, enables high‐efficient interconversion between heat and electricity for power generation or refrigeration. However, the rigid bulky SnSe cannot satisfy the applications for flexible and wearable devices...
