Asymmetric strategy for enhanced performance of flexible electroadhesive clutch.

ABSTRACT: Flexible electroadhesive clutches with high shear stress and fast response working at low voltage are much desired in wearable electronics and robotic systems. Dielectric materials with opposite charge characteristics could maximize the clutch performance by taking advantages of the boosted electroadhesion between the two contact pads in an asymmetrically structured clutch. In this paper, asymmetrically structured electroadhesive clutches are proposed and reported for the first time. The asymmetric structured clutch exhibits a two-fold increment in the shear force but similar response time by simply reversing the electrode polarity. This work provides a new dimension to realize high-performance electroadhesive clutches based on an asymmetric strategy.

Assembly Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Flexible Thermoelectric Devices.

Project description:Although organic and composite thermoelectric (TE) materials have witnessed explosive developments in the past five years, the research of flexible TE devices is rather limited. In particular, their assembly strategies and device performance reported in the literature cannot be directly compared, due to a variety of deviances including p- and n-type component materials, shape and dimensions of p-n flexible films, and applied temperature gradient (?T). Here, three types of assembly strategies for flexible TE devices, that is, serial, folding, and stacking, are compared by fixing the corresponding experimental parameters. Furthermore, a convenient and general method to evaluate the flexible device performance (FDP) is put forward, that is, FDP??=??Pmaxm?TN , where the maximum output power (P max) is divided by product mass (m), ?T, and pair number of p-n couples (N). The FDPs for the present serial, folding, and stacking devices are 11.13, 8.87, and 0.05 nW g-1 K-1, respectively, confirming that the serial configuration is the best among the three strategies for flexible device fabrication. The preliminary evaluation method proposed herein will pave the way for a design strategy of flexible TE devices and speed up their applications in waste-heat harvesting, e-skin, wearable electronics, etc.

Enhanced flight performance in non-uniformly flexible wings

Project description:The flexibility of biological propulsors such as wings and fins is believed to contribute to the higher performance of flying and swimming animals compared with their engineered peers. Flexibility seems to follow a universal design rule that induces bending patterns at about one-third from the distal tip of the propulsor’s span. However, the aerodynamic mechanisms that shaped this convergent design and the potential improvement in performance are not well understood. Here, we analyse the effect of heterogeneous flexibility on the flight performance (range and descent angle) of passively tumbling wings. Using experiments, numerical simulations, and scaling analysis, we demonstrate that spanwise tip flexibility that follows this empirical rule leads to improved flight performance. Improvement in flight range seems to be related to flutter-induced drag reduction. This mechanism is independent of the wing’s auto-rotation and represents a more general trait of wings with non-uniform tip flexibility.

Mesoporous NH4NiPO4·H2O for High-Performance Flexible All-Solid-State Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:Nowadays, wearable energy storage devices have been growing rapidly, but flexible systems with both excellent cycling stability and decent flexibility are still challenging. In this work, a flexible all-solid-state NH4NiPO4·H2O//graphene supercapacitor with remarkable performance was successfully assembled. When cycled at a current density of 5 mA cm-2, the device delivered 121 mF cm-2, and showed good cycling stability after 3,000 cycles. Moreover, the all-solid-state NH4NiPO4·H2O//graphene supercapacitor also exhibit high mechanical flexibility with well-maintained specific capacitance, even under bending to arbitrary angles (up to 180°) and different weights (up to 50 g).

Electrochemically Synthesis of Nickel Cobalt Sulfide for High-Performance Flexible Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:A lightweight, flexible, and highly efficient energy management strategy is highly desirable for flexible electronic devices to meet a rapidly growing demand. Herein, Ni-Co-S nanosheet array is successfully deposited on graphene foam (Ni-Co-S/GF) by a one-step electrochemical method. The Ni-Co-S/GF composed of Ni-Co-S nanosheet array which is vertically aligned to GF and provides a large interfacial area for redox reactions with optimum interstitials facilitates the ions diffusion. The Ni-Co-S/GF electrodes have high specific capacitance values of 2918 and 2364 F g-1 at current densities of 1 and 20 A g-1, respectively. Using such hierarchical Ni-Co-S/GF as the cathode, a flexible asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is further fabricated with polypyrrple(PPy)/GF as the anode. The flexible asymmetric supercapacitors have maximum operation potential window of 1.65 V, and energy densities of 79.3 and 37.7 Wh kg-1 when the power densities are 825.0 and 16100 W kg-1, respectively. It's worth nothing that the ASC cells have robust flexibility with performance well maintained when the devices were bent to different angles from 180° to 15° at a duration of 5 min. The efficient electrochemical deposition method of Ni-Co-S with a preferred orientation of nanosheet arrays is applicable for the flexible energy storage devices.

Gallium-Enhanced Aluminum and Copper Electromigration Performance for Flexible Electronics.

Project description:Wide range binary and ternary thin film combinatorial libraries mixing Al, Cu, and Ga were screened for identifying alloys with enhanced ability to withstand electromigration. Bidimensional test wires were obtained by lithographically patterning the substrates before simultaneous vacuum co-deposition from independent sources. Current-voltage measurement automation allowed for high throughput experimentation, revealing the maximum current density and voltage at the electrical failure threshold for each alloy. The grain boundary dynamic during electromigration is attributed to the resultant between the force corresponding to the electron flux density and the one corresponding to the atomic concentration gradient perpendicular to the current flow direction. The screening identifies Al-8 at. % Ga and Cu-5 at. % Ga for replacing pure Al or Cu connecting lines in high current/power electronics. Both alloys were deposited on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) flexible substrates. The film adhesion to PEN is enhanced by alloying Al or Cu with Ga. Electrical testing demonstrated that Al-8 at. % Ga is more suitable for conducting lines in flexible electronics, showing an almost 50% increase in electromigration suppression when compared to pure Al. Moreover, Cu-5 at. % Ga showed superior properties as compared to pure Cu on both SiO2 and PEN substrates, where more than 100% increase in maximum current density was identified.

Flexible asymmetric supercapacitors based on ultrathin two-dimensional nanosheets with outstanding electrochemical performance and aesthetic property.

Project description:Flexible asymmetric supercapacitors with excellent electrochemical performance and aesthetic property are realized by using ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) MnO2 and graphene nanosheets as cathode and anode materials, respectively. 2D MnO2 nanosheets (MSs) with a thickness of ca. 2 nm are synthesized with a soft template method for the first time, which achieve a high specific capacitance of 774 F g(-1) even after 10000 cycles. Asymmetric supercapacitors based on ultrathin MSs and graphene exhibit a very high energy density up to 97.2 Wh kg(-1) with no more than 3% capacitance loss after 10000 cycles in aqueous electrolyte. Most interestingly, we show that the energy storage device can have an aesthetic property. For instance, a "Chinese panda" supercapacitor is capable of lighting up a red light emitting diode. This work has another, quite different aspect that a supercapacitor is no longer a cold industry product, but could have the meaning of art.

MXene Enhanced 3D Needled Waste Denim Felt for High-Performance Flexible Supercapacitors.

Project description:MXene, a transition metal carbide/nitride, has been prominent as an ideal electrochemical active material for supercapacitors. However, the low MXene load limits its practical applications. As environmental concerns and sustainable development become more widely recognized, it is necessary to explore a greener and cleaner technology to recycle textile by-products such as cotton. The present study proposes an effective 3D fabrication method that uses MXene to fabricate waste denim felt into ultralight and flexible supercapacitors through needling and carbonization. The 3D structure provided more sites for loading MXene onto Z-directional fiber bundles, resulting in more efficient ion exchange between the electrolyte and electrodes. Furthermore, the carbonization process removed the specific adverse groups in MXenes, further improving the specific capacitance, energy density, power density and electrical conductivity of supercapacitors. The electrodes achieve a maximum specific capacitance of 1748.5 mF cm-2 and demonstrate remarkable cycling stability maintaining more than 94% after 15,000 galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles. Besides, the obtained supercapacitors present a maximum specific capacitance of 577.5 mF cm-2, energy density of 80.2 μWh cm-2 and power density of 3 mW cm-2, respectively. The resulting supercapacitors can be used to develop smart wearable power devices such as smartwatches, laying the foundation for a novel strategy of utilizing waste cotton in a high-quality manner.

Pulse irradiation synthesis of metal chalcogenides on flexible substrates for enhanced photothermoelectric performance.

Project description:High synthesis temperatures and specific growth substrates are typically required to obtain crystalline or oriented inorganic functional thin films, posing a significant challenge for their utilization in large-scale, low-cost (opto-)electronic applications on conventional flexible substrates. Here, we explore a pulse irradiation synthesis (PIS) to prepare thermoelectric metal chalcogenide (e.g., Bi2Se3, SnSe2, and Bi2Te3) films on multiple polymeric substrates. The self-propagating combustion process enables PIS to achieve a synthesis temperature as low as 150 °C, with an ultrafast reaction completed within one second. Beyond the photothermoelectric (PTE) property, the thermal coupling between polymeric substrates and bismuth selenide films is also examined to enhance the PTE performance, resulting in a responsivity of 71.9 V/W and a response time of less than 50 ms at 1550 nm, surpassing most of its counterparts. This PIS platform offers a promising route for realizing flexible PTE or thermoelectric devices in an energy-, time-, and cost-efficient manner.
