Thermogalvanic hydrogel electrolyte for harvesting biothermal energy enabled by a novel redox couple of SO4/3 2-ions

Chaohui Tian et al.

Summary: A novel non-toxic redox couple of SO42-/SO32- is introduced to create a stretchable, flexible gel thermoelectric device with a high Seebeck coefficient of 1.63 mV K-1 at the optimal redox couple concentration of 0.1 M. The hybrid structure formed between PEDOT: PSS and SO42-/SO32-ion-promoted crosslinking PVA network contributes to the superior tensile/compressive stress and deformation at break of the hydrogel electrolyte. By doping additional electrolyte ions, the gel exhibits favorable ionic conductivity and thermoelectric performance. Moreover, the PVA-SO4/3 2-hydrogel demonstrates the ability to harvest biothermal energy for operating small electronics at body temperature, showing potential for green sustainable self-powered wearables.

Utilising the triboelectricity of the human body for human-computer interactions*

Renyun Zhang et al.

Summary: This article presents a strategy for human-computer interaction (HCI) that utilizes the triboelectricity of the human body, eliminating physical function disabilities and enhancing accessibility for disabled individuals. The HCI approach has been used for text inputs, graphical inputs, and mimicked mouse functions, achieving an accuracy of approximately 98.4% for text inputs obtained directly from handwriting with the assistance of deep learning. The findings provide a new approach for HCI and demonstrate the feasibility of multiple interaction modes.

Solvent effect on the Seebeck coefficient of Fe2+/Fe3+ hydrogel thermogalvanic cells

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of solvents on the thermogalvanic (TG) performance and demonstrates a strong reverse correlation between solvent Gutmann donor numbers (DNs) and TG cell Seebeck coefficients. The researchers also identify the origin of this correlation as the difference in entropy contributions caused by changing solvation shell sizes due to the addition of organic solvents. This work provides a new perspective for enhancing TG performance and can be applied to other electrolyte systems.

Fingerprint-inspired electronic skin based on triboelectric nanogenerator for fine texture recognition

Xuan Zhao et al.

Summary: The tactile perception of fine textures in humans is mediated by fingertip skin, which is crucial for obtaining environmental information and manipulating objects precisely. Electronic skins based on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) have shown impressive applications in fine texture recognition by accurately mapping surface textures to electrical signals and revealing physical information. The fingerprint-inspired electronic skin (FE-skin) developed in this study can effectively detect and identify different textures by mimicking human fingerprints' morphology, achieving high accuracy rates in texture recognition through processing electrical signals with artificial neural networks. This technology demonstrates TENG's potential superiority in bionic tactile perception and has broad application prospects in humanoid robots, intelligent prostheses, and precise human-machine interaction.
