Hot surface warning gloves with a self-powered LED system

Caption

Schematic illustration of hot surface warning gloves with a self-powered LED system and light masking packages. Photographs showing a demonstration of the TEG-attached gloves when they are used to grasp various hot objects such as a bottle and a kettle. The insets show enlarged view of the self-powered system and packages. The conformal contact between the TEG-attached gloves and the 3D surfaces of the heat sources results in a bright "H" sign without any assistance from an external power supply. Scale bars, 5, 5 cm, and 5 mm
