Abstract
Multilayer structured piezo-triboelectric hybrid nanogenerators (m-PT-HNG) are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation wearable sensors owing to their ability to harvest energy with high sensitivity and enhanced output. In this work, we report a reliable and sensitive multilayered intrinsic piezo-tribo hybrid nanogenerator (m-PT-HNG) based on a multilayer piezoelectric composite nanogenerator (m-PCNG) architecture combined with triboelectric functionality. The m-PCNG fabricated via parallelly connected multilayers demonstrate significant enhancement of output performance compared to single-layer PCNG. The ferroelectric, piezoelectric performance of Cu2O-doped 0.3Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3-0.7BaSn0.12Ti0.88O3 (BCST-0.01Cu2O) ceramic fillers was systematically optimized by applying various piston loads (10 to 50 kN) and an electric field of 25 kV/cm. The resulting intrinsically coupled m-PT-HNG produces an instantaneous power density of 85.36 mW/m2 at 200 MΩ. To demonstrate practical utility, a sign language recognition smart glove (SLR-SG) was developed integrating the five m-PT-HNGs, enabling accurate sign language classification through a machine learning algorithm and real-time sign language to speech conversion via a mobile application.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
