Highly Stretchable, Knittable, Wearable Fiberform Hydrovoltaic Generators Driven by Water Transpiration for Portable Self‐Power Supply and Self‐Powered Strain Sensor

Abstract

The development of excellently stretchable, highly mobile, and sustainable power supplies is of great importance for self‐power wearable electronics. Transpiration‐driven hydrovoltaic power generator (HPG) has been demonstrated to be a promising energy harvesting strategy with the advantages of negative heat and zero‐carbon emissions. Herein, this work demonstrates a fiber‐based stretchable HPG with the advantages of high output, portability, knittability, and sustainable power generation. Based on the functionalized micro‐nano water diffusion channels constructed by the discarded mask straps (MSs) and oxidation‐treated carbon nanomaterials, the applied water can continuously produce electricity during the spontaneous flow and diffusion. Experimentally, when a tiny 0.1 mL of water encounters one end of the proposed HPG, the centimeter‐length device can yield a peak voltage of 0.43 V, peak current of 29.5 µA, and energy density of 5.833 mW h cm−3. By efficiently integrating multiple power generation units, sufficient output power can be provided to drive commercial electronic devices even in the stretched state. Furthermore, due to the reversibility of the electrical output during dynamic stretching‐releasing, it can passively convert physiological activities and motion behaviors into quantifiable and processable current signals, opening up HPG's application in the field of self‐powered wearable sensing.

Low-power and robust ternary SRAM cell with improved noise margin in CNTFET technology

“…The N bits in binary can offer a range of 2 N numbers while the N bits in ternary span a range of 3 N numbers [35,36]. This indicates that the memory used to store a ternary number is less than that used for a binary number [37,38]. For instance, a number say 74 in binary logic is represented by 7 bits (1001010) requiring 7 memory cells.…”

Biosensor-Driven IoT Wearables for Accurate Body Motion Tracking and Localization

“…We trained the MLP using a backpropagation algorithm with a stochastic gradient descent optimizer [99,100]. A categorical cross-entropy [101][102][103] loss function was employed, suitable for the multi-class classification challenges presented by our datasets.…”

Computational modelling of graphene/aluminum nitride (GP/AlN) hybrid materials for the detection of 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (DCP) pollutant

“…Composite materials are composed of two or more constituents, one of which is a reinforcement material and the other of which is a matrix, often called a base material. 30,31 The combination of these distinct materials aids in the modification of the behaviours and attributes to cause a dispersion of the material's use in different fields. Due to its outstanding properties of high thermal conductivity, large band gap, electrical sensitivity, shock resistivity, and mechanical strength.…”
