Highlights A thermoelectric aerogel of highly elastic, flame-retardant and high-temperature-resistant PEDOT:PSS/SWCNT composite is fabricated. The assembled thermoelectric generator generates a maximum output power of 400 μW at a temperature difference of 300 K. The self-powered wearable sensing glove can achieve wide-range temperature detection, complex hand motion recognition and high-temperature warning. The intelligent fire warning system enables highly sensitive and repeatable monitoring and alarm capabilities for high-temperature fire sources.
