Antiferroelectrics for Energy Storage Applications: a Review Tập 3 Số 9 - 2018
Zhen Liu, Teng Lü, Jiaming Ye, Genshui Wang, Xianlin Dong, Ray L. Withers, Yun Liu
AbstractEnergy storage materials and their applications have long been areas of
intense research interest for both the academic and industry communities.
Dielectric capacitors using antiferroelectric materials are capable of
displaying higher energy densities as well as higher power/charge release
densities by comparison with their ferroelectric and linear dielectric
counterparts and therefore hav... hiện toàn bộ
3D‐Printed Mechanical Metamaterials with High Energy Absorption Tập 4 Số 3 - 2019
Shangqin Yuan, Chee Kai Chua, Kun Zhou
AbstractRecently, 3D metamaterials have been achieved with inaccessible
mechanical properties in natural materials such as negative Poisson's ratio,
stiffness, and thermal expansion coefficient. While most of the developed
metamaterials are with engineerable deformation evolution of structures, few
studies have revealed their potential in energy absorption due to the limited
mechanical properties ... hiện toàn bộ
4D Printing of Shape‐Memory Hydrogels for Soft‐Robotic Functions Tập 4 Số 8 - 2019
MD Nahin Islam Shiblee, Kumkum Ahmed, Masaru Kawakami, Hidemitsu Furukawa
AbstractHydrogel actuators with soft‐robotic functions and biomimetic advanced
materials with facile and programmable fabrication processes remain scarce. A
novel approach to fabricating a shape‐memory‐hydrogel‐(SMG)‐based bilayer system
using 3D printing to yield a soft actuator responsive to the methodical
application of swelling and heat is introduced. Each layer of the bilayer is
composed of p... hiện toàn bộ
Recent Advances in Halide Perovskite Memristors: Materials, Structures, Mechanisms, and Applications Tập 5 Số 6 - 2020
Xinyu Xiao, Jing Hu, Sheng Tang, Kai Yan, Bo Gao, Hunglin Chen, Dechun Zou
AbstractThe memristor is the fourth fundamental circuit element discovered after
resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Although this concept has only been
proposed in 1971 and confirmed in 2008, many materials with memristive
properties have been found since 1962. Halide perovskites have been widely used
in solar cells, and recently it has been found that they also possess good
memristive properti... hiện toàn bộ
Leveraging Monostable and Bistable Pre‐Curved Bilayer Actuators for High‐Performance Multitask Soft Robots Tập 5 Số 9 - 2020
Yinding Chi, Yichao Tang, Haijun Liu, Jie Yin
AbstractSoft actuators are typically designed to be inherently stress‐free and
stable. Relaxing such a design constraint allows exploration of harnessing
mechanical prestress and elastic instability to achieve potential
high‐performance soft robots. Here, the strategy of prestrain relaxation is
leveraged to design pre‐curved soft actuators in 2D and 3D with tunable
monostability and bistability th... hiện toàn bộ
Lead‐Free Halide Double Perovskites: Fundamentals, Challenges, and Photovoltaics Applications Tập 8 Số 1 - 2023
Naveen Kumar Tailor, Andrea Listorti, Silvia Colella, Soumitra Satapathi
AbstractMetal halide perovskites (MHPs) have gained tremendous interest in
photovoltaics applications reaching the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of
25.8%. Despite the rapid development of MHP‐based solar cells, the existence of
toxic lead (Pb) and their operational instability are seen as key roadblocks for
commercialization. A viable strategy for developing lead‐free optoelectronic
devices ne... hiện toàn bộ
Highly Conductive Multifunctional rGO/CNT Hybrid Sponge for Electromagnetic Wave Shielding and Strain Sensor Tập 4 Số 9 - 2019
Xu Zhao, Liangliang Xu, Qiang Chen, Qingyu Peng, Minglong Yang, Wenqi Zhao, Zaishan Lin, Fan Xu, Yibin Li, Xiaodong He
AbstractOne of the potential applications for carbon nanotube (CNT) sponge
prepared through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is as a strain sensor. However,
the sensitivity of CNT sponge is strongly impeded by the point‐to‐point contact
between individual CNTs. A novel method is proposed to introduce reduced
graphene oxide (rGO) as a conducting bridge into CNT sponge, in order to
dramatically impro... hiện toàn bộ
Wireless Multistimulus‐Responsive Fabric‐Based Actuators for Soft Robotic, Human–Machine Interactive, and Wearable Applications Tập 5 Số 8 - 2020
Rong Yin, Bao Yang, Xujiao Ding, Su Liu, Wei Zeng, Jun Li, Su Hyun Yang, Xiaoming Tao
AbstractSoft actuators driven by pneumatic or electric means are heavy and
clumsy with physical connections, which hinders their applications in
human–machine interactive, wearable, and biomedical fields. Herewith, a light
fabric bimorph actuator is reported that is driven wirelessly by optical,
thermal, and magnetic energy sources. Being fabricated by laminating
electrically conductive fabric and... hiện toàn bộ
