The directional moving of water molecules, which can be driven by gradient of functional groups and water evaporation, is vital for the electricity generation. Here, MEG composed of Graphene Oxide (GO-MEG) with gradient channels is constructed by one-step ice-templating technique, achieving a voltage of 0.48 V and a current of ~ 5.64 µA under humid condition. The gradient channels introduce Laplace pressure difference to the absorbed water droplets and electric potential between two side of the GO-MEG, facilitating the charge flow. Output voltage can be easily enhanced by increasing the structural gradient, reducing the channel size, incorporation of chemical gradient, or scaling up the number of GO-MEG units in series. This work not only provides insight for the working mechanism of GO-MEG with structural gradient, which can be applied to other functional materials, but also establishes a convenient and ecofriendly strategy to construct and finely tune the structural gradient in porous materials.展开更多

To address this, a biomimetic tactile multimodal sensing approach is introduced in this study, based on TriboElectric NanoGenerator (TENG) and Micro-ThermoElectric Generator (MTEG). This method enables actuators to identify the material properties of underwater target objects and to sense grasping states, such as pressure and relative sliding. In this study, a multi-dimensional underwater bionic tactile perception theoretical model is established, and a bionic sensing prototype with a sandwich-type structure is designed. To verify the performance of pressure feedback and material perception, pertinent experiments are conducted. The experimental results reveal that within a pressure measurement range of 0–16 N, the detection error of the sensor is 1.81%, and the maximum pressure response accuracy achieves 2.672 V/N. The sensing response time of the sensor is 0.981 s. The recovery time of the sensor is 0.97 s. Furthermore, the exceptional fatigue resistance of the sensor is also demonstrated. Based on the frequency of the output voltage from the prototype, the sliding state of the target object relative to the actuator can be sensed. In terms of material identification, the temperature response accuracy of the sensor is 0.072 V/°C. With the assistance of machine learning methods, six characteristic materials are identified by the sensor under 7 N pressure, with a recognition accuracy of 92.4%. In complex marine environments, this method has great application potential in the field of underwater tactile perception.展开更多

文摘Harvesting energy from humid air to generate electricity represents a promising strategy for sustainable power generation.However,achieving high output and long-term stability in moisture-driven power generators(MPGs)remains a significant challenge.Here,we develop an efficient MPG by incorporating polymerized ionic liquid(PIL)and MXene through in-situ polymerization of cationic long chains within the MXene layers.This structural design enhances the hydrophilicity and ion dynamics,ensuring stable and sustained electrical output.A single MPG device delivers an open-circuit voltage of 0.65 V and a power density of 14.87 mW·cm^(-2),operating continuously for over 36 h.Surface characterization and quantum chemistry calculations elucidate that the mobile anions within the MPG move directionally under moisture gradients,while polymerized cations remain stationary,driving power generation.The MPG exhibits exceptional long-term stability,retaining about 80%of its initial voltage output after 30 days.Moreover,these MPGs demonstrate scalability for practical applications,capable of efficiently charging capacitors and powering LEDs through simple series-parallel configurations.This work offers a promising strategy to simultaneously enhance the performance and operational stability of MPGs,offering a sustainable solution for the direct conversion of low-grade thermal energy from moisture into clean electricity.
文摘The ocean,as one of Earth’s largest natural resources,covers over 70% of the planet’s surface and holds vast water energy potential.Building on this context,this study designs a hybrid generator(WWR-TENG)that integrates a triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)and an electromagnetic generator(EMG).TENG is a new technology that can capture mechanical energy from the environment and convert it into electrical energy,and is particularly suitable for common natural or man-made power sources such as human movement,wind power,and water flow.EMG is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction and can usually provide stable power output.The composite design leverages the complementary advantages of both technologies to efficiently capture and convert marine wave energy.By combining the TENG’s high energy conversion efficiency,lowcost,lightweight structure,and simple designwith the EMG’s capabilities,the systemprovides a sustainable solution for marine energy development.Experimental results demonstrate that at a rotational speed of 3.0 r/s,the TENG component of the WWR-TENG achieves an open-circuit voltage of approximately 280 V and a shortcircuit current of 20μA.At the same time,the EMG unit exhibits an open-circuit voltage of 14 V and a short-circuit current of 14 mA.Furthermore,when integrated with a power management circuit,the WWR-TENG charges a 680μF capacitor to 3 V within 10 s at a rotational speed of 3.0 r/s.A simulated wave environment platform was established,enabling the WWR-TENG to maintain the thermo-hygrometer in normal operation under simulated wave conditions.These findings validate the hybrid system’s effectiveness in harnessing and storingwave energy,highlighting its potential for practical marine energy applications.

文摘With the rapid development of large-scale regional interconnected power grids,the risk of cascading failures under extreme condi-tions,such as natural disasters and military strikes,has increased significantly.To enhance the response capability of power systems to extreme events,this study focuses on a method for generator coherency detection.To overcome the shortcomings of the traditional slow coherency method,this paper introduces a novel coherent group identification algorithm based on the theory of nonlinear dynam-ical systems.By analyzing the changing trend of the Euclidean norm of the state variable derivatives in the reduced system,the algorithm can accurately identify the magnitude of the disturbances.Based on the slow coherency methods,the algorithm can correctly recognize coherent generator groups by analyzing system characteristics under varying disturbance magnitudes.This improvement enhances the applicability and accuracy of the coherency detection algorithm under extreme conditions,providing support for emergency control and protection in the power system.Simulations and comparison analyses on IEEE 39-bus system are conducted to validate the accuracy and superiority of the proposed coherent generator group identification method under extreme conditions.

文摘Dielectric elastomer(DE)is an electroactive polymer with the characteristics of high energy output,great flexibility,light-weight,mechanical compliance,and low cost,which are particularly suitable for DE energy generators.Energy harvesting efficiency is a key index to evaluate the performance of the energy generator,which depends on the structural configuration and the mechanical and dielectric properties of the DE material.This paper proposes a fractional viscoelastic polarization(FVP)model by combining the fractional viscoelasticity model and the polarization-based lumped parameter model.A dynamical model of a cone dielectric energy generator(CDEG)considering stretch-dependent electrostriction and nonlinear viscoelasticity is established.Additionally,a deep neural network(DNN)model is developed to explore the relationships between various parameters and the output energy of CDEGs to efficiently and accurately predict the energy output of CDEGs.Based on the DNN model,optimal parameter designs for CDEGs are obtained by using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II).The experiments verified that the FVP model predicts accurately the output energy of CDEG and the established optimal design framework can accurately provide the optimal design parameters of CDEG,which offers deep insights for the design and fabrication of a high-efficiency dielectric energy generator.
文摘With the development of science and technology,the social demand for energy is also increasing.However,the traditional method of energy supply primarily relies on non-renewable resources for energy conversion.While this conventional approach can expedite the energy conversion process,it also results in irreversible ecological hazards.To solve the above problems,the use of renewable clean energy is proposed.In this paper,a droplet generator is proposed to integrate the rotating structure with the body effect power generation for the tiny energy of raindrops.This droplet generator can increase the speed of droplets leaving the dielectric layer and reduce the effect of continuously falling droplets on the droplet-based electricity generator(DEG).It is demonstrated that the instantaneous power of the generator can reach 0.9 mW,which can be a good solution to the power supply needs of some small power supply equipment,and thereafter is beneficial to the self-powering of the equipment in rainy days.
文摘Organic thermoelectric generators(TEGs)are flexible and lightweight,but they often have high electrical resistance,poor output power,and low mechanical durability,because of which their thermoelectric performance is poor.We used a facile and rapid solvent evaporation process to prepare a robust carbon nanotube/Bi0.45Sb1.55Te3(CNT/BST)foam with a high thermoelectric figure of merit(zT).The BST sub-micronparticles effectively create an electrically conductive network within the three-dimensional porous CNT foam to greatly improve the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient and reinforce the mechanical strength of the composite against applied stresses.The CNT/BST foam had a zT value of 7.8×10^(−3)at 300 K,which was 5.7 times higher than that of pristine CNT foam.We used the CNT/BST foam to fabricate a flexible TEG with an internal resistance of 12.3Ωand an output power of 15.7μW at a temperature difference of 21.8 K.The flexible TEG showed excellent stability and durability even after 10,000 bending cycles.Finally,we demonstrate the shapeability of the CNT/BST foam by fabricating a concave TEG with conformal contact on the surface of a cylindrical glass tube,which suggests its practical applicability as a thermal sensor.

文摘We employed random distributions and gradient descent methods for the Generator Coordinate Method(GCM)to identify effective basis wave functions,taking halo nuclei ^(6)He and ^(6)Li as examples.By comparing the ground state(0^(+))energy of ^(6)He and the excited state(0^(+))energy of 6 Li calculated with various random distributions and manually selected generation coordinates,we found that the heavy tail characteristic of the logistic distribution better describes the features of the halo nuclei.Subsequently,the Adam algorithm from machine learning was applied to optimize the basis wave functions,indicating that a limited number of basis wave functions can approximate the converged values.These results offer some empirical insights for selecting basis wave functions and contribute to the broader application of machine learning methods in predicting effective basis wave functions.

文摘In intricate aquatic environments, enhancing the sensory performance of underwater actuators to ensure successful task execution is a significant challenge. To address this, a biomimetic tactile multimodal sensing approach is introduced in this study, based on TriboElectric NanoGenerator (TENG) and Micro-ThermoElectric Generator (MTEG). This method enables actuators to identify the material properties of underwater target objects and to sense grasping states, such as pressure and relative sliding. In this study, a multi-dimensional underwater bionic tactile perception theoretical model is established, and a bionic sensing prototype with a sandwich-type structure is designed. To verify the performance of pressure feedback and material perception, pertinent experiments are conducted. The experimental results reveal that within a pressure measurement range of 0–16 N, the detection error of the sensor is 1.81%, and the maximum pressure response accuracy achieves 2.672 V/N. The sensing response time of the sensor is 0.981 s. The recovery time of the sensor is 0.97 s. Furthermore, the exceptional fatigue resistance of the sensor is also demonstrated. Based on the frequency of the output voltage from the prototype, the sliding state of the target object relative to the actuator can be sensed. In terms of material identification, the temperature response accuracy of the sensor is 0.072 V/°C. With the assistance of machine learning methods, six characteristic materials are identified by the sensor under 7 N pressure, with a recognition accuracy of 92.4%. In complex marine environments, this method has great application potential in the field of underwater tactile perception.
