The cold sintering process (CSP) has emerged as a revolutionary technique for low-temperature processing of ceramics and composites, enabling high-density fabrication at low temperatures. In this study, we demonstrated the implementation of CSP in fabricating the γ-glycine (γ-G)-bacterial cellulose (BC) composite and evaluated the effect of sintering temperature and holding time on the microstructure and electrical properties. Our findings revealed that an increase in sintering temperature and holding time leads to grain growth, as the transient solvent (water) facilitates the closely-packed microstructure. Moreover, the addition of BC as a filler into the γ-G matrix leads to a composite with a 10% increase in hardness when BC was uniformly distributed in γ-G. The composite with a relative density of 97% was successfully obtained at 120 °C/24 h, preserving the γ polymorph of glycine without the unwanted transformation commonly observed with traditional sintering. We also reported the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the γ-G-BC composite, exhibiting a remanent polarization of 0.004 μC/cm2 and a coercive field of 1.201 kV/cm. Our findings suggest that CSP is a promising approach for low-temperature processing and fabrication of ceramics, especially when incorporating structurally sensitive filler such as organic ferroelectric, to achieve high-performance composites.

Prescreening and disease detection offer significant benefits in the prevention of serious illnesses. Traditional screening methods for disease identification have been complex and expensive, often requiring invasive procedures, which can be both harmful and uncomfortable. To address these limitations, various non-invasive screening technologies have been developed. Among recent innovations, the liquid–solid interface concept has emerged as a promising avenue for nanogenerator applications, enabling the harvesting and sensing of liquid energy and substances. In this study, we introduce a liquid–solid interface triboelectric sensor (LS-TES) for non-invasive disease screening and sensing. The LS-TES, utilizing a double-electrode configuration, delivers an immediate electrical response upon droplet contact with the solid surface and top electrode. In the case of urine glucose monitoring, our findings demonstrate a significant reduction in electrical signals with increasing concentrations of glucose, as glucose molecules hinder electron transfer from water to the solid surface, thereby disrupting the formation of the electrical double layer at the liquid–solid interface. The sensor exhibits excellent glucose sensing performance within a concentration range of 0.2 mM to 14 mM, with a detection limit of 0.25 mM and a rapid response time of 5–10 s. The LS-TES is cost-effective, highly stable, and reusable, maintaining consistent electrical responses across ten cycles of alternating droplet measurements. This work presents a preclinical assessment approach, specifically for urine glucose monitoring, utilizing an innovative sensor based on the liquid–solid interface. The proposed concept has the potential to serve as an individual indicator for early medical symptom detection, offering relief to a large number of patients.

Wearable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for converting human mechanical energies into electricity are being investigated widely, because of their potentially diverse applications that come from wearable power supplied to multifunctional self-powered sensing. However, external influences, such as water or high humidity, seriously degrade the electrical output of TENGs. Therefore, a simple method was implemented for fabricating a water repellent fabric-based TENG for harvesting human mechanical energies. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or SiO<inf>2</inf> modified by trichloro(octadecyl)silane (OTS) were sprayed onto a polyester (PET) fabric surface to increase hydrophobicity. The PTFE and SiO<inf>2</inf>/OTS coated polyester fabrics exhibited excellent water repellency with a high-water contact angle of ∼144° and ∼153°, respectively. The surface morphology of the coated fabrics showed roughness with a granular structure, which was responsible for air entrapment that prevented water from penetrating the fabric. Furthermore, electrical output of conventional PET fabric-based TENG was found to improve with the deposition of PTFE particles on the fabric surface. By pairing the PTFE coated fabric with aluminum (Al) tape, in order to fabricate TENG, the device generated a maximum voltage of 10.2 V and short-circuit current of 0.20 µA, with a power output of 0.23 (Formula presented.) W/cm2, which is 14 times greater than that of SiO<inf>2</inf>/OTS coated fabric-based TENG. The process for achieving water repellent fabric is simple, and the coating materials are available. Thus, a water repellent fabric-based TENG is promising for large-scale production of wearable harvesters from power supplied to multifunctional self-powered sensing.

This research proposed a simple ionic embedded method to improve electrical output performance by adding surface charges of cationic chitosan (CS) biopolymer for compatible utilization of the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). By simply embedding cationic salts, the TENG performance was enhanced by over four times more than that with pristine CS. Moreover, by modifying roughness on the film surface, the optimized condition of R-CS/3 %CaCl<inf>2</inf> reached the highest V<inf>OC</inf> and I<inf>SC</inf> of ~149 V and ~15 μA, respectively, thus exceeding the output from pristine R-CS TENG by four- and three times of ⁓38 V and ⁓5.1 μA. The maximum power output of 400 μW/cm2 can be observed at the 10 MΩ external load resistance. Finally, by integrating an automatic self-charge pumping (ASCP) module, the ASCP/CS-TENG provided highly efficient V<inf>OC</inf> and I<inf>SC</inf> output power by over 1.3 times more than the R-CS/3 %CaCl<inf>2</inf> TENG and could light up 72 light emitting diodes (LEDs) easily.

Natural biopolymer materials have been of interest in wearable energy harvester technology, especially in biocompatible triboelectric nanogenerators (BTENGs), due to their biodegradable, biocompatible, nontoxic and excellent antibacterial properties. Nevertheless, obstacles concerning economical and biocompatible utilization of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) continue to prevail. The natural biopolymer, chitosan (CS), is composed of a long biopolymer chain of N-acetyl glucosamine. It enables exciting opportunities for low-cost, biodegradable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) applications. However, the electrical output performance of CS based on TENGs is low when compared with devices constructed from synthetic polymers. Hence, to enhance electrical output performance, BaTiO<inf>3</inf> nano-powders (BT-NPs) were embedded into the CS as dielectric material, in order to improve electrical properties by increasing the dielectric constant of the composite film. A flexible hybrid piezo/triboelectric nanogenerator, designed by BT-NPs embedded into CS (BT-NPs/CS) composite film, was constructed successfully. The effects of the BaTiO<inf>3</inf> nano-powder (BT-NP) content on the output performance were explored systematically. The device with 5 wt% BT-NPs in CS, and a 160-μm-thick film, exhibited maximum open-circuit voltage (V<inf>OC</inf>) and transferred short-circuit current (I<inf>SC</inf>) of 110.8 V and 10 µA, respectively, as well as maximum power output of 431.8 µW. Practical and application demonstrations also were investigated, namely charged capacitors for storing energy, testing voltage stability and driving commercial LEDs. This work exhibited high electrical performance enhancement of BT-NPs/CS nanocomposite film, which demonstrated better material modification.

This work demonstrated the influence of pore morphologies on the mechanical behavior and tribo-electrical performance of fabricated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge. Commercial seasonings with different 3D geometric shapes were used as a sacrificial template to control the pore structure of the PDMS sponge. The result indicated that the softest PDMS sponge was molded by using a sodium chloride (NaCl) crystal template, as indicated by the lowest compressive modulus value. Then, P(VDF–HFP) was incorporated into PDMS prepolymer in order to enhance the charge generation characteristic of PDMS. Besides, the composite 3D structure was revealed using synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM). Interpretation from the SRXTM result confirmed that the porous structure had different pore shapes, i.e., an octahedral-like shape and a circular-like shape in a particular sponge. By pairing the composite PDMS sponge with an aluminum (Al) plate for the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), the maximum electrical outputs of ~29.9 V and ~0.56 μA for voltage and current, respectively, were detected with loading 50 wt% of P(VDF – HFP). The presented TENG was applied successfully for sensing basic human activities practically, which demonstrated potential applications in wearable electronics.

Wearable strain sensors are pivotal for next-generation human–machine interfaces, yet achieving high fidelity, robustness, and sustainability in a single platform remains a significant challenge. A primary obstacle is the inherent viscoelasticity of soft materials, which leads to signal drift and hysteresis. Here, we report a highly stretchable and ultrastable strain sensor fabricated through a synergistic integration of Kirigami-based structural engineering and nanocomposite material design. By introducing titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) into a bacterial cellulose (BC) matrix, we create a composite with a unique internal “skeletal framework”. This framework substantially reduces viscoelastic losses, resulting in an exceptionally low hysteresis of 0.6% and ensuring robust performance with 99.4% signal stability over >10 000 cycles. Concurrently, the Kirigami-patterned structure enhances stretchability to ∼235% while the framework amplifies sensitivity 5.8-fold. The practical viability of this high-fidelity sensor is demonstrated through the precise and repeatable control of a robotic arm, where ultralow hysteresis proves more critical than raw sensitivity. The sensor’s eco-friendly, water-based fabrication aligns high-fidelity sensing with sustainable processing, presenting a clear design paradigm for engineering reliable and eco-conscious wearable electronic devices.

Kinetic analysis of liquid–solid contact electrification: Using adsorption models as mechanistic probes for hybrid EDL behavior

Liquid–solid interfaces are central to technologies ranging from energy storage to triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Whereas classical electric double layer (EDL) theory describes these interfaces mainly in terms of electrostatic ion adsorption, hybrid EDL concepts suggest that interfacial electron transfer may also contribute importantly to charge generation. However, the hybrid EDL model has so far been discussed primarily at a qualitative level or through complex theoretical and computational treatments, and a simple, experimentally accessible macroscopic kinetic handle that can discriminate, in operando, between adsorption‑dominated and ET‑influenced regimes remains lacking. By analyzing high-resolution charging dynamics over systematically varied H₂SO₄ and HNO₃ concentrations, a clear concentration-dependent kinetic transition is identified. At low ionic strengths, the charging process is described more effectively by pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics, consistent with a reaction-influenced interfacial step, whereas at higher concentrations the system becomes pseudo-first-order (PFO) dominated, consistent with transport- and ion-screening-controlled behavior. Although previous studies have provided compelling theoretical and spectroscopic evidence that interfacial electron transfer contributes to liquid–solid contact electrification in TENGs, these mechanisms have rarely been examined through such simple macroscopic kinetic formalisms. In this work, classical adsorption kinetic models are used as operational probes for distinguishing electron-transfer-influenced regimes from ion-transport-dominated regimes at PTFE/liquid interfaces. The PSO-to-PFO crossover reported here is interpreted within the hybrid EDL framework as a kinetic marker of a transition from an electron-transfer-influenced charging regime at low concentration to an ion-transport- and screening-dominated regime at high concentration, thereby demonstrating how adsorption kinetics can serve as a practical diagnostic language for liquid–solid triboelectric systems.

The immense potential of colossal dielectric materials for use in high-energy-density storage applications has driven much recent development and research. The discovering of such dielectric materials with the required high permittivity and low dielectric loss is still a highly challenging. Herein, the donor-acceptor co-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> has been developed based on (Mg<inf>0.5</inf>W<inf>0.5</inf>) <inf>x</inf> Ti<inf>1-</inf><inf>x</inf> O<inf>2</inf>, (In<inf>0.5</inf>W<inf>0.5</inf>) <inf>x</inf> Ti<inf>1-</inf><inf>x</inf> O<inf>2</inf> and (Ni<inf>0.5</inf>Nb<inf>0.5</inf>) <inf>x</inf> Ti<inf>1-</inf><inf>x</inf> O<inf>2</inf>; where x = 0.005–0.01, that manifests high permittivity (>104). The resulted permittivity attains the quadruple than that of pure TiO<inf>2</inf> ceramic with low dielectric loss of ∼0.02 over a broad temperature range. This performance is corresponded to the electron-pinned defect-dipoles, providing the extra dielectric response to those of rutile TiO<inf>2</inf> host ceramics. This research offers the way to develop functional colossal-dielectric materials by engineering complex defects into the bulk that will help for further discovery of promising new dielectric materials in future.

Recent advances in achieving flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) focus widely on utilizing and modifying abundant natural biopolymer. Boosting power generation and conversion efficiency continue to prevail. In this work, three main strategies were proposed to enhance the output performance of chitosan-based TENGs; 1) hybridization with lead-free piezoelectric nanorod, 2) introduction of a soft electrode using bacterial cellulose/carbon nanotube composite to enhance contact efficiency, and 3) enhancement of charge density of the triboelectric friction layer using a self-charge pumping (SCP) module. Under the same testing conditions of 48 ± 5% relative humidity, ~0.55 Hz of frequency, ~250 N of compressive force at 25.0 ± 0.5 °C, and the combination of 7 wt% lead-free piezoelectric BaTiO<inf>3</inf> nanorods (BT-NRs) in the chitosan matrix, the highest open-circuit voltage (V<inf>oc</inf>) of ~111.4 V, short circuit (I<inf>sc</inf>) of ~21.6 μA/cm2, and also output power density of 756 μW/cm2 was achieved. By using an integrated SCP module, the TENGs can provide a V<inf>oc</inf>, I<inf>sc</inf> and peak power output of 247.2 V, 36.7 μA/cm2 and 1568 μW/cm2, respectively. This electrical power output rises to over 4-fold more power enhancement than that of pristine chitosan TENGs. The TENGs demonstrate remarkable mechanical stability and reliability upon cyclical contact for up to 3000 times. This work provides a promising strategy for achieving high-output, eco-friendly triboelectric nanogenerators. By boosting the output performance via continuous charge pumping, ultrahigh effective charge density was achieved successfully in flexible chitosan/BT-NR biocomposites that can push output performance towards real applications of TENGs.
