Item type:Publication, High Performance Flexible Tribo/Piezoelectric Nanogenerators based on BaTiO3/Chitosan Composites(2021-01-01); ;Charoonsuk, Thitirat ;Pinpru, Nattapong; 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. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Surface phosphatization of cerium-lanthanum oxides for catalytically inert white pigments(2025-11-01) ;Onoda, Hiroaki ;Wada, Takuma ;Charoonsuk, Thitirat ;Pulphol, PhierayaCerium dioxide (CeO<inf>2</inf>) is a UV-scattering agent commonly employed in sunscreens but suffers from oxidative catalytic activity, raising concerns for dermal applications. To address this issue, surface passivation via phosphatization has been explored, although prior attempts with CeO<inf>2</inf> alone failed to eliminate its intrinsic yellow hue due to low reactivity with phosphoric acid. In this study, we introduce a novel white pigment synthesized via the phosphoric acid-mediated treatment of CeO<inf>2</inf>–La<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> mixtures. By co-utilizing lanthanum oxide, which readily forms lanthanum phosphate—a white, inert compound—we achieved enhanced suppression of oxidative activity alongside improved whiteness. The composite materials were systematically characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), particle size analysis, colorimetry (Lab*), and catalytic activity assays. The results reveal that phosphatization preferentially proceeds at lanthanum sites, forming phosphate-rich surface layers that diminish redox activity while maintaining favorable dispersion and smoothness properties. The pigment shows high acid resistance and negligible photocatalytic activity, indicating its potential as a safe, non-reactive alternative for cosmetic formulations. This work advances the development of rare-earth-based functional pigments via a scalable, low-temperature route. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Acidic dynamics: Unveiling mechanistic insights for improved performance in chitosan triboelectric nanogenerators(2024-07-01) ;Charoonsuk, Thitirat ;Ukasi, Sirinya ;Mokthaisong, Panadta ;Khuntakaew, PawitaHajra, SugatoIn recent years, there has been a surge in interest surrounding the development of chitosan (CS)-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) for powering attachable/portable devices. Despite numerous strategies aimed at enhancing their efficiency, the selection of acid solvent has remained largely unexplored. In this study, various acids, including acetic (CH<inf>3</inf>COOH), succinic (C<inf>4</inf>H<inf>6</inf>O<inf>4</inf>), and citric (C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>8</inf>O<inf>7</inf>) acids, were investigated for their impact on mechanical and electrical output signals. Remarkably, the choice and concentration of acid were found to significantly influence performance. Specifically, employing citric acid rendered the CS solid film more pliable and yielded the highest output signal at optimal concentration levels. Under optimized conditions, the CS-TENG exhibited an open-circuit voltage output (V<inf>OC</inf>) of 157 V and short-circuit current output (I<inf>SC</inf>) of 53 µA—more than triple that of pristine CS-TENG. Mechanistic insights into electrical generation have been elucidated, underscoring the importance of solvent selection in CS TENG fabrication. These findings underscore the potential for tailored acid solvent selection to advance specialized applications in the field.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Utilization of commodity thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) by enhanced sensing performance with liquid phase electrolyte for a flexible and transparent triboelectric tactile sensor(2021-04-01) ;Charoonsuk, Thitirat; ;Sriphan, Saichon; To promote the sustainable development of single-used polyethylene (PE) commodity plastic for long-lasting use in advanced electronic devices, this work presented a successful strategy for converting PE plastic bags, which usually end up in landfills, into specifically flexible and transparent triboelectric tactile sensors (TES). In order to enhance the electrical output to meet the practical application, liquid phase electrolytes (LPEs) were introduced between double sides of thin PE layers. LPE utilization had significant influence on the output signal, resulting in an effective response to physical contact with the human hand. The effect of LPE types, i.e., acids, salts and solvent as well as concentration, on output signal was studied and clarified. The scientific working mechanism for PE/LPE TES was described based on the coupling behavior between contact electrification, electrostatic induction and ion conduction within the electric double layer. The PE/LPE TES showed the optimized signal response of V<inf>oc</inf> ~1.6 V, I<inf>sc</inf> ~673 nA and 450 W/cm<sup>2</sup>, enabled by tunable LPE types and concentrations, thus providing a hundred times more than that of pristine PE. By integrating PE/LPE TES with a signal-processing circuit, wireless application of the complete tactile sensing system has been developed further to make contact with and control home appliances such as a light bulb and an electric fan. Its flexibility and transparency has great potential adaptation for the active tactile system that can be attached to different wearable devices, textiles, or home interior decoration. This work demonstrates a facile strategy for promoting PE plastic as a high value-added electronic product that has the potential to pave the way for development in large-scale industry, and help in treating used plastic in the future. It also has the opportunity to obtain a tactile sensor that is affordable and cost-effective in making a valuable contribution in the global sensor market, thus ensuring sustainable development in both social and economic terms.1
