Fig. 1. Schematic representation of a multifunctional self-powered wound dressing and its working mechanism.

Fig. 1.

(A) Structural design of the wound dressing with Bi2Te3 NPs as the thermocatalytic layer, chitosan hydrogel as the encapsulation layer, and CFF as the electrodes. (B) Flexible nature of the wound dressing. (C) Implementation of the wound dressing on a full-thickness wound created on the dorsal region of mice. (D) HRTEM image and elemental mapping images of Bi2Te3 NPs. (E) Change in the surface potential of Bi2Te3 NPs probed by KPFM at different temperature gradients. (F) Mechanism of the wound dressing for healing normal and infected wounds. a.u., arbitrary units.
