Yes, in fact Bulova produced a watch called the Thermatron that used the difference between your skin and ambient temperature to generate the power for the watch. The watch was so expensive to develop it drove Bulova into bankruptcy.

Since the Thermatron exists as prior art and the application of the same technique to power mobile phones is intuitive to experts it is not patentable.

Temperature is just thermal energy, so yeah, you just need a way to take your body heat and convert it to energy that the battery can take
