We propose dynamic keystroke pattern recognition technology based on a piezoelectric-triboelectric coupling sensor array to address these challenges, enhancing the keystroke signal characteristics. Dual verification technology combining password and biometric authentication effectively enhances the security level of the Human-Machine Interactions system. The triboelectric sensor efficiently reduces the output channels of a 3 × 3 sensing array to a single channel using a mesh topology electrode design. Each of the nine triboelectric sensor units corresponds to nine numeric key, allowing users to input different key combinations that generate unique cryptographic waveforms distinguished by individual keystroke characteristics. A piezoelectric-triboelectric coupling sensor array, structured with multiple layers, is devised. By incorporating a piezoelectric sensor in the upper layer, we harness the complementary effects of piezoelectric and triboelectric properties to boost authentication accuracy and alleviate the limitations of single sensing modalities. Notably, crosstalk is eliminated through the specialized sensor array and the topological electrode design. Integrating the piezoelectric-triboelectric coupling sensor array with a 1D CNN neural network approach achieves password recognition accuracy surpassing 99%, effectively mitigating the risk of password leakage in systems facilitating human-computer interactions.","PeriodicalId":394,"journal":{"name":"Nano Energy","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142975241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anchoring of Pt single atoms onto In nanoparticles through Pt-In bonds accompanied with electron transfer from In to Pt improves the absorption capacity for visible light and the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers.

Whereas the energy loss associated with SPPs propagation is so severe that the transmission of optical signals through SPPs is limited.

We have constructed parallel nanowires (PNWs) structures with a gap distance of ~10<!-- --> <!-- -->nm. The propagation loss of PNWs can be prominently reduced with respect to the single NW. The mechanism is attributed to mode hybridization between adjacent individual NWs, which can affect the electric field distribution and thus restrain leaky radiation to the substrate. Moreover, we have fabricated distinct PNWs structures to compare their propagation losses. The finite element method (FEM) has been used to calculate field distributions of plasmon modes and study the effect of gap distance, demonstrating a high figure of merit (FoM) waveguiding by exploiting the coupling between PNWs. Our work provides a new road to reduce the propagation loss of SPPs along metal NWs, which is crucial for the applications of plasmon-based nanophotonic devices.","PeriodicalId":394,"journal":{"name":"Nano Energy","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142962683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, developing temperature sensors with both high sensitivity and long-term stability remains a persistent challenge. Here, we introduce a novel temperature-sensing mechanism based on the thermal desorption of molecules from the surface of hydrophilic nanodiamond (H-ND). By modifying nanodiamond surfaces to enhance hydrophilicity, conductive channels are formed through the absorption of water molecules. As temperature rises, water molecules desorb, leading to a reduction in these conductive channels and an increase in resistance and enabling precise temperature sensing. The H-ND sensor exhibits a high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 1595%/°C within the range of 70-100 °C. Remarkably, the addition of salts such as NaCl further enhances the TCR to 415000% /°C within the same temperature range, the highest TCR reported to date for temperature sensors. Furthermore, we developed a flexible H-ND sensor array with 6 × 6 sensing cells, capable of generating high-resolution temperature images.

Based on the low amplitude characteristics of the track, this paper proposes a self-powered and self-sensing triboelectric-electromagnetic hybrid generator (SS-TEHG) with displacement amplification and rotational speed amplification. The main function of the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is to serve as a signal combined with deep learning to monitor the damage of the floating slab track system, including steel spring failure, fastening failure, and vibration failure. The electromagnetic generator (EMG) utilizes the lever principle to amplify the vibration displacement of the floating slab track. After passing through the screw and bevel gear rectification mechanism, the linear vibration displacement of the track is converted into unidirectional rotational motion and transmitted to the planetary gearbox for speed amplification and then generates electrical energy in the generator. On this basis, a coupled dynamics model of vehicle-rail-floating slab-harvester is constructed in Simpack software to obtain the vibration state of the floating slab track at different speeds to evaluate the performance of SS-TEHG. The deep learning model consists of four modules: Spatial Feature Extraction Module (SFEM), Temporal Feature Extraction Module (TFEM), and Attention Module (AM). The experimental results show that the test accuracy of the 2TFEM group and the SFEM (64) +2TFEM group can reach 99.81% and 99.97%, respectively.

This study developed an integrated cement-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and piezoresistive self-sensing sensors using fully cured nano carbon black (NCB)-reinforced cement mortar. In the cement-based TENG, a thin cement plate served as the positive triboelectric layers, while a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) plate served as the negative triboelectric layers.
