چکیده

Piezomaterials are known to display enhanced energy conversion efficiency at nanoscale due to geometrical effect and improved mechanical properties. Although piezoelectric nanowires have been the most widely and dominantly researched structure for this application, there only exist a limited number of piezomaterials that can be easily manufactured into nanowires, thus, developing effective and reliable means of preparing nanostructures from a wide variety of piezomaterials is essential for the advancement of self-powered nanotechnology. In this study, we present nanoporous arrays of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), fabricated by a lithography-free, template-assisted preparation method, as an effective alternative to nanowires for robust piezoelectric nanogenerators. We further demonstrate that our porous PVDF nanogenerators produce the rectified power density of 0.17 mW/cm3 with the piezoelectric potential and the piezoelectric current enhanced to be 5.2 times and 6 times those from bulk PVDF film nanogenerators under the same sonic-input.

A self-powered porous ZnS/PVDF-HFP mechanoluminescent composite film that converts human movement into eye-readable light.

This study reports on a self-powered mechanoluminescent flexible film that converts human movement into green, yellow, and white light that are visible to the naked eye. The film is simply a highly porous composite material that was prepared using a piezoelectric polymer and ZnS luminescent powders. The highly effective mechanoluminescence capabilities stem from both the film's porous structure...

Microscopic Surface Textures Created by Interfacial Flow Instabilities

In nature, microscopic surface textures impact useful function, such as the drag reduction of shark skin (Dean & Bhushan, 2010) and superhydrophobicity of the lotus leaf(Pan, Kota, Mabry, & Tuteja, 2013). In this study, we explore these phenomena by re-creating microscopic surface textures via the method of interfacial flow instability in drying polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) acetone solutions....
