    This study presents the fabrication, characterization, and performance evaluation of flexible piezoelectric composites based on polydimethylsiloxane embedded with varying volume fractions (0–25 vol%) of barium titanate nanoparticles. The composites were prepared via a conventional casting method and systematically analyzed to investigate the synergistic enhancement of their mechanical, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties. Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the retention of the crystalline BaTiO<inf>3</inf> phase and its uniform dispersion within the PDMS matrix, with some agglomeration observed at higher filler loadings. Mechanical testing revealed that the 20 vol% BaTiO<inf>3</inf> composite exhibited optimal tensile strength and flexibility. Dielectric measurements showed significant increase in the dielectric constant with increasing BaTiO<inf>3</inf> content, with the 25 vol% composite achieving a 100% enhancement compared to pure PDMS. Theoretical modeling was employed to compare experimental results with established effective medium theories. Under cyclic compression, the composites demonstrated a progressive increase in output voltage, reaching up to ~426 V at 25 vol% BaTiO<inf>3</inf>, surpassing performance reported in previous studies. Additionally, the incorporation of carbon nanotubes further enhanced dielectric efficiency and mechanical stretchability, although a slight reduction in piezoelectric output was observed. These results underscore the potential of BaTiO<inf>3</inf>/PDMS nanocomposites, with and without CNTs, for next-generation flexible energy harvesting devices.

    Lead-free BaTi<inf>0.94</inf>Sn<inf>0.06</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (BTS) ceramics were synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method to investigate thermally induced phase transitions and dielectric relaxation phenomena. A combination of in-situ X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and in-situ Synchrotron X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) was employed to examine phase transitions across the temperature range of 200–400 K. The results reveal sequential phase transitions: rhombohedral-orthorhombic (R + O) at 200 K, orthorhombic (O) at 250–300 K, tetragonal (T) at 325–359 K, and tetragonal-cubic (T + C) at 373–400 K. Dielectric measurements highlight an anomalous relaxation behavior at 70–160 K, attributed to domain wall freezing. This phenomenon follows Vogel-Fulcher behavior, with an activation energy of 14 meV, a freezing temperature of 82 K, and an attempt frequency of 4.7 × 10<sup>6</sup> Hz. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveals oxygen deficiency on the surface of the BTS ceramic, resulting in the coexistence of Ti<sup>3+</sup>/Ti<sup>4+</sup> and Sn<sup>2+</sup>/Sn<sup>4+</sup> oxidation states. These defects significantly influence the dielectric and phase transition properties. This study provides comprehensive insights into the interplay between local structural changes and phase transition mechanisms in BTS ceramics. By employing a multi-technique approach, it advances the understanding of dielectric and ferroelectric behaviors, positioning BTS ceramics as promising candidates for lead-free dielectric and ferroelectric device applications.

    The performance of composite-based triboelectric nanogenerators (C–TENGs) was significantly enhanced through laser surface patterning and graphite coating. The laser etching process produced accurate and consistent patterns, increasing surface area and improving charge accumulation. SEM imagery confirmed the structural differences and enhanced surface properties of the laser-etched C–TENGs. Graphite fibers further augmented the contact surface area, enhancing charge accumulation and diffusion. Experimental results demonstrated that the optimized C–TENGs, especially those with line patterns and graphite coating, achieved a maximal 98.87 V open-circuit voltage (V<inf>OC</inf>) and a 0.10 µA/cm<sup>2</sup> short-circuit current density (J<inf>SC</inf>) under a 20 N external force. Environmental tests revealed a slight decrease in performance with increased humidity, while long-term stability tests indicated consistent performance over three weeks. Practical application tests showed the potential of C–TENGs integrated into wearable devices, generating sufficient energy for low-power applications, thereby highlighting the promise of these devices for sustainable energy solutions.

    Hybrid piezo/triboelectric technology is an emerging energy source that can continuously power small electronic devices by harvesting ambient mechanical energy and converting it into electricity. In this work, a high-performance hybrid piezo/triboelectric device was presented. The composite film was synthesized that co-doped BaTiO<inf>3</inf> powders (BT) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) embedded within a host material made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The hybrid device is made by mixing BT powders into the PDMS to form a series of composite films, ranging from 10% to 45% by wt.%. Additionally, 1–5 wt.% of rGO was loaded into fabricates 40BT/PDMS. The results show that the addition of rGO can improve the uniform dispersion of BT powder in the PDMS matrix. The 4 wt.% of rGO for 40BT/PDMS exhibited the optimal energy harvesting performance among all compositions, achieving notable output voltage and current. This work demonstrates a facile, low-cost approach for obtaining high-performance hybrid piezo/triboelectric by utilizing a composite film BaTiO<inf>3</inf> and polymer (PDMS) modified with rGO.

    This paper presents the partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) and partial discharge extinction voltage (PDEV) of palm oil based on nanofluids with different concentration of ZnO and BaTiO3. Each liquid specimen was prepared in a 2000 ml beaker. The palm oil sample was heated under vacuum in the oven with temperature at 80°C under 200 mbar for 12 hours. Next, these liquids were divided into seven groups according to the amount of ZnO and BaTiO3 nanoparticle. The first group was the unmodified palm oil. The second and third group were palm oil mixed with 0.01% of ZnO and BaTiO3 nanoparticle respectively. The fourth-the seventh group were palm oil mixed with 0.03% and 0.05% ZnO and BaTiO3 respectively. Then all specimens were heated at 80°C under 200 mbar for 12 hours. After that, the PDIV and PDEV of the liquid specimen were investigated using the test circuit according to IEC 60270 using needle-plane electrodes with the needle tip radius of 10 μm. Each group was tested in 6 times. The mean values of PDIV and PDEV were reported. From the test results, it was clear that the types and concentrations of nanoparticle obviously affected the PDIV and PDEV characteristics of the palm oil based nanofluids.
