Wood is a state-of-art, renewable, and sustainable building material with excellent mechanical properties but negligible triboelectric polarizability. Strategies to improve and rationally tune the triboelectric properties of wood are needed to …
The human metabolome provides a window into the mechanisms and biomarkers of various diseases. However, because of limited availability, many sample types are still difficult to study by metabolomic analyses. Here, we present a mass spectrometry …
Efficient ionization is a necessary condition for mass spectrometric analysis, but many compounds fail to ionize well enough to yield sufficient detection limits. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) coupled to nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESl) …
Transient electronics that disintegrate via material dissolution or depolymerization under certain stimuli have great potential in biomedical and military applications. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), an emerging mechanical energy harvesting …
A liquid-solid contact triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) film, a copper electrode, and a glass substrate for harvesting energy in oil/water multiphases is reported. There are two distinctive signals being …
Electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing is a high-resolution printed electronics technique that uses an electric field to generate droplets. It has great application potential with the rapid development of flexible and wearable electronics. …
It is known that contact-electrification (or triboelectrification) usually occurs between two different materials, which could be explained by several models for different materials systems (Adv. Mater. 2018, 30, 1706790; Adv. Mater. 2018, 30, …
Water wave energy is a promising renewable energy source that may alleviate the rising concerns over current resource depletion, but it is rarely exploited due to the lack of efficient energy harvesting technologies. In this work, a hybrid system …
With the advances of artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous robotics, virtual reality (VR) and Internet of things (IoT), an intelligent and ubiquitous human-machine interfacing (HMI) ecosystem has become a desire and attracted lots of interests. …
