The pursuit of advanced energy technologies has intensified the focus on innovative functional materials. Low-melting-point liquid metals (LMs), particularly Ga-based alloys, have emerged as a promising platform due to their unique combination of met...
Real-time monitoring of lubricants is crucial to the development of transport vehicles. Accidental and fatal failures of components in vehicles occur every day, which threaten the service life of equipment. Inspired by the work of solid–liquid...
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely used in solar cells and photocatalysts, given its excellent photoactivity, low cost, and high structural, electronic, and optical stability. Here, a novel TiO2 composite was prepared by coating TiO2 inverse opal (IO)...
The increasing demand for sustainable and high-performance energy storage underscores the limitations of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), notably in terms of finite resources, safety issues, and rising costs. Multivalent metal-ion batteries (MMIBs)&mdas...
Intrinsically stretchable polymer ionic conductors (PICs) hold significant application prospects in fields such as flexible sensors, energy storage devices, and wearable electronic devices, serving as promising solutions to prevent mechanical failure...
Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers (NFs) were synthesized via two chemical oxidative polymerization approaches: a rapid mixing process and a conventional stirred tank method. PANI is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors due to its conductivi...
The catalytic decomposition of CH4 is a promising method for producing high-purity COx-free hydrogen. A Ni-Al-LDH catalyst synthesized via coprecipitation was modified with alkali metals (Mg, La, Ca, or Li) through reconstruction to enhance catalytic...
This work reports the fabrication and optimization of nylon/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) using a spin coating method. By carefully tuning the MWCNT concentration, the device achieved a...
The recent focus on wide-bandgap absorbers for tandem solar cell configurations and photovoltaic materials with high absorption coefficients for indoor photovoltaics has prompted a renewed interest in selenium. Over the past few years, the efficiency...
The technological advances in internet of things (IoT) devices have raised the demand for cost-efficient and sustainable energy sources. Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) are promising low-cost and eco-friendly energy sources but require robust...
