“…However, the ameliorative effect of that method is suffered from dispersion of nanoparticles and induces the phenomenon of nanoparticles agglomeration, which will result in charge leakage on the surface of tribo-materials and the output of TENG can be decreased. Nowadays, the surface plasmon resonance effect, which is generated from precious metal nanoparticles, has been widely used in the research area of solar cell, photocatalysis, photoelectric detection and enhancing photoelectric conversion efficiency [25][26][27][28][29][30]. While that is rarely used to enhance the output performance of the TENG.…”

Available, effectively converting low-frequency vibration into available electricity, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is always research hot nowadays. However, the enhancing effect of the existing methods for the output have all sorts of drawbacks, i.e., low efficiency and unstable, and its practical applications still need to be further explored. Here, leveraging core-shell nanoparticles Ag@SiO2 doping into tribo-materials generates the surface plasmon effect to boost the output performance of the TENG. On one hand, the shell alleviated the seepage effect from conventional nanoparticles; on the other hand, the surface plasmon effect enabled the core-shell nanoparticles to further boost the output performance of TENG. We circumvent the limitations and present a TENG whose output power density can be up to 4.375 mW/cm2. Points is that this article novelty investigate the high-performance TENG applicating for traditional Chinese medicine and develop a pratical self-powered acupuncture system. This technology enables rapid, routine regulation of human health at any age, which has potential applications in nearly any setting across healthcare platforms alike.

“…However, these conditions are not always obvious, occurring seldom outside, because they are mainly carried out under conditions of the laboratory by using a solar simulator matirials. Consequently, to carry out a characterization appropriate to the behavior of electric modules regular minutes (obtaining curves I-V and P-V), recently, several authors [5][6] are used the artificial intelligence technics such as the fuzzy logic [5][6][7] and the artificial neuron networks (ANN) [2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] to modeling OPV cells. This approach is logical if one were to consider the dependence of the solar cell to any variations conditions of the environment [8].…”

In this paper, the characterization and modeling results of the electrical parameters of the tendem organic photovoltaic cells (infinityPV) are presented. The electrical performances of this organic cell's module (I-V and P-V) are characterized and analyzed in the weather condition of southwest Algeria (Adrar site). A program in MATLAB language is developed locally for modeling the organic cell, using artificial intelligence. The multilayer feed forward perception type ANN is used for extraction of the organic photovoltaic model performances, and the back-propagation algorithm is used for the program training. The ANN obtained results by the simulation showed a good conformity with the results obtained experimentally in the saharan climate (MAPE:0.68%, MBE:4.5018e-09 A and RMSE:1.8062e-04 A).

“…Furthermore, an insulating SiO 2 shell was added onto the surface of metal NPs to inhibit corrosion [ 29 ] and exciton quenching [ 30 ], however, this did not influence the LSPR effect. Metal-oxide core-shell NPs have widespread application in PSCs [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], as well as in DSSCs [ 37 ] and organic solar cells [ 38 , 39 ]. However, there has been little research on incorporating Ag@SiO 2 NPs into low-cost free-hole-conductor PSCs with carbon counter electrodes.…”

In this study, Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a modified Stöber method for preparing the TiO2 mesoporous layer of carbon counter electrode-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) without a hole transporting layer. Compared with normal PSCs (without Ag@SiO2 incorporated in the TiO2 mesoporous layer), PSCs with an optimal content of Ag@SiO2 (0.3 wt. % Ag@SiO2-TiO2) show a 19.46% increase in their power conversion efficiency, from 12.23% to 14.61%, which is mainly attributed to the 13.89% enhancement of the short-circuit current density, from 20.23 mA/cm2 to 23.04 mA/cm2. These enhancements mainly contributed to the localized surface Plasmon resonance effect and the strong scattering effect of Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles. However, increasing the Ag@SiO2 concentration in the mesoporous layer past the optimum level cannot further increase the short-circuit current density and incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency of the devices, which is primarily ascribed to the electron transport pathways being impeded by the insulating silica shells inside the TiO2 network.
