However, little attention is paid to their mutual advantages of environmental friendliness, mechanical properties, and stability. Here, we report a super-strong, biodegradable, and washable cellulose-based conductive macrofibers, which is prepared by wet-stretching and wet-twisting bacterial cellulose hydrogel incorporated with carbon nanotubes and polypyrrole. The cellulose-based conductive macrofibers possess high tensile strength of 449 MPa(able to lift 2 kg weights), good electrical conductivity(~ 5.32 S cm^(-1)), and excellent stability(Tensile strength and conductivity only decrease by 6.7% and 8.1% after immersing in water for 1 day). The degradation experiment demonstrates macrofibers can be degraded within 108 h in the cellulase solution. The designed fabric-based TENG from the cellulose-base conductive macrofibers shows a maximum open-circuit voltage of 170 V, short-circuit current of 0.8 μA, and output power at 352 μW, which is capable of powering the commercial electronics by charging the capacitors. More importantly, the fabric-based TENGs can be attached to the human body and work as self-powered sensors to effectively monitor human motions. This study suggests the potential of biodegradable, super-strong, and washable conductive cellulose-based fiber for designing eco-friendly fabric-based TENG for energy harvesting and biomechanical monitoring.展开更多

However, the solid Al-ion conductor electrolytes are less studied. Here, the microscopic path of Al3+-ion conduction of NASICON-type(Al0.2Zr0.8)20/19Nb(PO4)3oxide is identified by temperature-dependent neutron powder diffraction and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy experiments.(Al0.2Zr0.8)20/19Nb(PO4)3shows a rhombohedral structure consisting of a framework of(Zr,Nb)O6octahedra sharing corners with(PO4) tetrahedra; the Al occupy trigonal antiprisms exhibiting extremely large displacement factors. This suggests a strong displacement of Al ions along the c axis of the unit cell as they diffuse across the structure by a vacancy mechanism. Negative thermal expansion behavior is also identified along a and b axes, due to folding of the framework as temperature increases.展开更多

文摘The pursuit to mimic skin exteroceptive ability has motivated the endeavors for epidermal artificial mechanoreceptors.Artificial mechanoreceptors are required to be highly sensitive to capture imperceptible skin deformations and preferably to be self-powered,breathable,lightweight and deformable to satisfy the prolonged wearing demands.It is still struggling to achieve these traits in single device,as it remains difficult to minimize device architecture without sacrificing the sensitivity or stability.In this article,we present an all-fiber iontronic triboelectric mechanoreceptor(ITM)to fully tackle these challenges,enabled by the high-output mechano-to-electrical energy conversion.The proposed ITM is ultralight,breathable and stretchable and is quite stable under various mechanical deformations.On the one hand,the ITM can achieve a superior instantaneous power density;on the other hand,the ITM shows excellent sensitivity serving as epidermal sensors.Precise health status monitoring is readily implemented by the ITM calibrating by detecting vital signals and physical activities of human bodies.The ITM can also realize acoustic-to-electrical conversion and distinguish voices from different people,and biometric application as a noise dosimeter is demonstrated.The ITM therefore is believed to open new sights in epidermal electronics and skin prosthesis fields.

文摘It is of great importance to explore a creative route to improve the degradation e ciency of organic pollutants in wastewater.Herein,we construct a unique hybrid system by combining self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)with carbon dots-TiO_(2)sheets doped three-dimensional graphene oxide photocatalyst(3 DGA@CDs-TNs),which can significantly enhance the degradation e ciency of brilliant green(BG)and direct blue 5 B(DB)owing to the powerful interaction of TENG and 3 DGA@CDs-TNs photocatalyst.The power output of TENG can be applied for wastewater purification directly,which exhibits a selfpowered electrocatalytic technology.Furthermore,the results also verify that TENG can replace conventional electric catalyst to remove pollutants e ectively from wastewater without any consumption.Subsequently,the unstable fragments and the plausible removal pathways of the two pollutants are proposed.Our work sheds light on the development of e cient and sustainable TENG/photocatalyst system,opening up new opportunities and possibilities for comprehensive utilization of random energy.

文摘Piezoelectric materials have been analyzed for over 100 years,due to their ability to convert mechanical vibrations into electric charge or electric fields into a mechanical strain for sensor,energy harvesting,and actuator applications.A more recent development is the coupling of piezoelectricity and electro-chemistry,termed piezo-electro-chemistry,whereby the piezoelectrically induced electric charge or voltage under a mechanical stress can influence electro-chemical reactions.There is growing interest in such coupled systems,with a corresponding growth in the number of associated publications and patents.This review focuses on recent development of the piezo-electro-chemical coupling multiple systems based on various piezoelectric materials.It provides an overview of the basic characteristics of piezoelectric materials and comparison of operating conditions and their overall electro-chemical performance.The reported piezo-electro-chemical mechanisms are examined in detail.Comparisons are made between the ranges of material morphologies employed,and typical operating conditions are discussed.In addition,potential future directions and applications for the development of piezo-electro-chemical hybrid systems are described.This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent studies on how piezoelectric materials and devices have been applied to control electro-chemical processes,with an aim to inspire and direct future efforts in this emerging research field.

文摘As key components of artificial afferent nervous systems,synaptic devices can mimic the physiological synaptic behaviors,which have attracted extensive attentions.Here,a flexible tribotronic artificial synapse(TAS)with bioinspired neurosensory behavior is developed.The triboelectric potential generated by the external contact electrification is used as the ion-gel-gate voltage of the organic thin film transistor,which can tune the carriers transport through the migration/accumulation of ions.The TAS successfully demonstrates a series of synaptic behaviors by external stimuli,such as excitatory postsynaptic current,paired-pulse facilitation,and the hierarchical memory process from sensory memory to short-term memory and long-term memory.Moreover,the synaptic behaviors remained stable under the strain condition with a bending radius of 20 mm,and the TAS still exhibits excellent durability after 1000 bending cycles.Finally,Pavlovian conditioning has been successfully mimicked by applying force and vibration as food and bell,respectively.This work demonstrates a bioinspired flexible artificial synapse that will help to facilitate the development of artificial afferent nervous systems,which is great significance to the practical application of artificial limbs,robotics,and bionics in future.
