In this context, our study focuses on incorporating ionic liquids (ILs) into poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) to explore how the alkyl chain length of ILs influences triboelectric polarity. Imidazolium-based ILs containing bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (TFSI⁻) anions were used, with cations such as 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMIM⁺) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIM⁺) exhibiting tribo-positive characteristics, while those with longer alkyl chains, including 1-methyl-3-n-octylimidazolium (OMIM⁺) and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium (DoMIM⁺), displayed tribo-negative behavior. These trends were correlated with self-diffusion coefficient measurements of the ILs. The control of triboelectric behavior and the formation of an electric double layer (EDL) through IL incorporation significantly enhanced the surface charge density, thereby improving the output performance of TENGs. This work provides a novel strategy for enhancing TENG efficiency and offers material selection guidelines for sustainable energy applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100942,"journal":{"name":"Nano Trends","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GQDs-U were characterized using spectroscopic techniques, and their concentration was expressed in terms of total carbon content in aqueous dispersion. They present average diameter of about 8 nm, with average hydrodynamic diameter of around 12 nm, and a surface charge of -7 mV at pH 7.4. Assays revealed that a progressive increase in GQDs-U concentration led to the quenching of HSA fluorescence with quenching directly correlated with temperature, also indicating a mixed quenching mechanism with a predominance of the dynamic type, suggesting mutual conformational rearrangements of HSA/GQDs-U before reaching thermodynamic equilibrium. Additionally, it was shown that GQDs-U could be used as a probe to quantify HAS with the increase in photoluminescence of GQDs-U upon the addition of HSA demonstrating effective energy transfer, as GQDs-U were found to promote quenching in HSA photoluminescence. This study indicated sound evidence of stability of the nanomaterial, in aqueous dispersions, in terms of optical and morphological properties.

Devices were fabricated with the FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> layer annealed under different conditions: 50 °C for 10 min (Device D1), 60 °C for 20 min (Device D2), and 100 °C for 30 min (Device D3).

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identified that the FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> layer in Device D2 predominantly contained the FABr–PbBr<sub>2</sub>–DMF intermediate complex, resulting in a higher density of native defects. This increased defect density likely enhanced bromide ion migration, facilitating greater ionic accumulation at the interface, which contributed to the pronounced hysteresis loop. A model combining ionic transport and energy band modulation is proposed to elucidate the resistive switching (RS) mechanism in these devices. Capacitance-frequency (C–f) analysis further corroborated the highest interfacial charge accumulation for Device D2, reflected by its maximum accumulation capacitance.
