Abstract
Most reported thin-film piezoelectric energy harvesters have been based on cantilever-type crystalline ferroelectric oxide thin films deposited on rigid substrates, which utilize vibrational input sources. Herein, we introduce flexible amorphous thin-film energy harvesters based on perovskite CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) thin films on a plastic substrate for highly competitive electromechanical energy harvesting. The room-temperature sputtering of CCTO thin films enable the use of plastic substrates to secure reliable flexibility, which has not been available thus far. Surprisingly, the resultant amorphous nature of the films results in an output voltage and power density of ~38.7 V and ~2.8 × 106 μW cm-3, respectively, which break the previously reported record for typical polycrystalline ferroelectric oxide thin-film cantilevers. The origin of this excellent electromechanical energy conversion is systematically explored as being related to the localized permanent dipoles of TiO6 octahedra and lowered dielectric constant in the amorphous state, depending on the stoichiometry and defect states. This is the leading example of a high-performance flexible piezoelectric energy harvester based on perovskite oxides not requiring a complex process for transferring films onto a plastic substrate.

Abstract
In recent years, portable and wearable personal electronic devices have rapidly developed with increasing mass production and rising energy consumption, creating an energy crisis. Using batteries and supercapacitors with limited lifespans and environmental hazards drives the need to find new, environmentally friendly, and renewable sources. One idea is to harness the energy of human motion and convert it into electrical energy using energy harvesting devices-piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and hybrids. They are characterized by a wide variety of features, such as lightness, flexibility, low cost, richness of materials, and many more. These devices offer the opportunity to use new technologies such as IoT, AI or HMI and create smart self-powered sensors, actuators, and self-powered implantable/wearable devices. This review focuses on recent examples of PENGs, TENGs and hybrid devices for wearable and implantable self-powered systems. The basic mechanisms of operation, micro/nano-scale material selection and manufacturing processes of selected examples are discussed. Current challenges and the outlook for the future of the nanogenerators are also discussed.

Abstract
Hybrid halide perovskites (HHPs), whose every branch generates intrusiveness, have been utilized in solar cells from a broader perspective. However, the inclusiveness of employing HHP as a photocatalyst is in its initial stage. This study mainly focuses on the unexpected utilization of, so far, undesirable material vacancy-ordered MA2SnBr6 quantum dots synthesized from MASnBr3 nanosheets. Here, the quantum confinement grounded a large blue shift in ultraviolet (UV) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra with a Stokes shift of 420 meV, where the band gap increase is observed as size decreases in MA2SnBr6. Remarkably, MA2SnBr6 exhibits air and moisture stability, better charge transfer, and high oxidation potential compared to MASnBr3. The first-principles-based atomistic computations reveal the strain relaxation in the Sn-Br framework that structurally stabilizes the MA2SnBr6 lattice. Furthermore, the direct band gap and strongly localized valence band edge give rise to a new potential photocatalyst MA2SnBr6 for efficient solar-driven C(sp3)─H activation of cyclohexane and toluene under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Molecular ferroelectric materials are widely applied in piezoelectric converters, non-volatile memorizers, and photovoltaic devices due to their advantages of adjustable structure, lightweight, easy processing, and environmental friendliness. However, designing multifunctional molecular ferroelectrics with excellent properties has always been a great challenge. Herein, a multiaxial molecular ferroelectric is successfully designed by modifying the quasi-spherical cation dabco with CuBr2 to obtain halogenated [Bretdabco]CuBr4 (Bretdabco = N-bromoethyl-N'-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane), which crystallizes in polar point groups (C6). Typical ferroelectric behaviors featured by the P-E hysteresis loop and switched ferroelectric domain are exhibited. Notably, the molecular ferroelectric shows a high TC of 460 K, which is rare in the field and could greatly expand the application range of this material. In addition, the band gap is adjustable through the regulation of halogen. Both the UV absorption spectra and theoretical calculations indicate that the molecular ferroelectrics belong to a direct band gap (2.14 eV) semiconductor. This tunable and narrow band gap semiconductor molecular ferroelectric material with high TC can be utilized more effectively in the study of optoelectronics and sensors, including piezoelectric energy harvesters. This research may provide a promising approach for the development of multiaxial molecular ferroelectrics with a tiny band gap and high TC.

Abstract
Tin halide perovskites (Sn HaPs) are the top lead-free choice for perovskite optoelectronics, but the oxidation of perovskite Sn2+ to Sn4+ remains a key challenge. However, the role of inconspicuous chemical processes remains underexplored. Specifically, the halide component in Sn HaPs (typically iodide) has been shown to play a key role in dictating device performance and stability due to its high reactivity. Here we describe the impact of native halide chemistry on Sn HaPs. Specifically, molecular halogen formation in Sn HaPs and its influence on degradation is reviewed, emphasising the benefits of iodide substitution for improving stability. Next, the ecological impact of halide products of Sn HaP degradation and its mitigation are considered. The development of visible Sn HaP emitters via halide tuning is also summarised. Lastly, halide defect management and interfacial engineering for Sn HaP devices are discussed. These insights will inspire efficient and robust Sn HaP optoelectronics.

Abstract
Anion-dependent differences in the electromechanical energy harvesting capability of perovskite halides have not been experimentally demonstrated thus far. Herein, anion-dependent piezoelectricity and bending-driven power generation in high-quality methylammonium lead halide MAPbX3 (X = I, Br, and Cl) thin films are explored; additionally, anisotropic in situ strain is imposed to improve energy harvesting under tensile bending. After applying the maximum in situ strain of -0.73% for all the halide thin films, the MAPbI3 thin-film harvester exhibited a peak voltage/current of ≈23.1 V/≈1703 nA as the best values, whereas MAPbBr3 and MAPbCl3 demonstrated ≈5.6 V/≈176 nA and ≈3.3 V/≈141 nA, respectively, under identical bending conditions. Apart from apparent ferroelectricity of tetragonal MAPbI3 , origin of the piezoelectricity in both cubic MAPbBr3 and MAPbCl3 is explored as being related to organic-inorganic hydrogen bonding, lattice distortion, and ionic migration, with experimental supports of effective piezoelectric coefficient and grain boundary potential. Conclusively, piezoelectricity of the cubic halides is assumed to be due to their soft polarity modes and relatively low elastic modulus with vacancies contributing to space-charge polarization. In the case of ferroelectric MAPbI3 , the distortion of PbI6 octahedra and atomic displacement within each octahedron are quantitatively estimated.

Abstract
Halide perovskites, possessing unique electronic and photovoltaic properties, have been intensively investigated over the past decade. The excellent polarization, piezoelectricity, dielectricity and photoelectricity of halide perovskites provide new opportunities for the applications of mechanical energy harvesting. Although various studies have been conducted to develop halide perovskite-based triboelectric and piezoelectric nanogenerators, strategies for their electrical performance optimization are rarely mentioned. In this review, we systematically introduce the recent research progress of halide perovskite-based mechanical energy harvesters and summarize the different optimization strategies for improving both the piezoelectric and triboelectric output of the devices, bringing some inspiration to guide future material and structure design for halide perovskite-based energy devices. A summary of the current challenges and future perspectives is also presented, offering some possible directions for development in this emerging field.

Abstract
Single crystal metal-free halide perovskites have received great attention in recent years owing to their excellent piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. However, the nanotoxicity and piezoelectricity within the nanoscale of such materials have yet been reported for the demonstration of practical applications. In this work, the observation of intrinsic piezoelectricity in metal-free perovskite (MDABCO-NH4 I3 ) films using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is reported. A cytotoxicity test is also performed on MDABCO-NH4 I3 to evaluate its low-toxic nature. The as-synthesized MDABCO-NH4 I3 is further integrated into a piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG). The MDABCO-NH4 I3 -based PENG (MN-PENG) exhibits optimal output voltage and current of 15.9 V and 54.5 nA, respectively. In addition, the MN-PENG can serve as a self-powered strain sensor for human-machine interface applications or be adopted in in vitro electrical stimulation devices. This work demonstrates a path of perovskite-based PENG with high performance, low toxicity, and multifunctionality for future advanced wearable sensors and portable therapeutic systems.

Abstract
In this investigation, supervised machine learning (ML) was utilized to accurately predict the optimum bromine doping concentration in single-junction MASnI3-xBrx devices. Data-driven optimizations were carried out on 42 000 unique devices built utilizing a solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS). The devices were investigated through variations of bromine doping %, bandgap, electron affinity, series resistance, back-contact metal, and acceptor concentration─parameters that were specifically chosen because of their tunable nature and ability to be modified through facile experimental fabrication techniques of the device. Five different algorithms were utilized to explore feature engineering. The first step before bromine doping within the device included validation studies of a pure tin-based system, MASnI3: a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.71% was achieved, having close congruence with experimental data. ML analyses for optimal bromine doping resulted in the discovery of two devices with bromine concentrations of 22.43% (Br22) and 25.63% (Br25), with the latter being a more fine-tuned value obtained through extra rigorous analysis. To understand the total and relative impact of each feature on power conversion efficiency (PCE), Br22 and Br25 were analyzed with a state-of-the-art algorithm, namely, the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) algorithm. Focusing on the two discovered devices, further device optimizations were carried out utilizing SCAPS. Modulations of absorber thickness, bulk and interfacial defect density, and choice of electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer (HTL) materials were tried. Device stability was analyzed through carrier lifetime studies. Following these optimization steps, Br22 and Br25 demonstrated final high PCE values of 20.72 and 17.37%, respectively. The ML-assisted quantitative analysis of the current work provides significant confidence for optimal bromine-doped tin-based devices to be considered as viable and competitive nontoxic alternatives to traditional technologies.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic piezoelectrics have attracted attention due to their simple synthesis, mechanical flexibility, and designability, which have promising application potential in flexible sensing and self-powered energy harvesting devices. Although some hybrid piezoelectrics are discovered, most of their structures are limited by the perovskite-type and often contain lead. Herein, the synthesis, structure, and piezoelectric properties of a new hybrid lead-free metal halide, (BTMA)2 CoBr4 (BTMA = benzyltrimethylammonium) are reported. The experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that this material simply composed of [CoBr4 ]2- tetrahedra and BTMA+ cations exhibits significant piezoelectricity (d22 = 5.14, d25 = 12.40 pC N-1 ), low Young's and shear moduli (4.11-17.56 GPa; 1.86-7.91 GPa). Moreover, the (BTMA)2 CoBr4 /PDMS (PDMS = polydimethylsiloxane) composite thin films are fabricated and optimized. The 10% (BTMA)2 CoBr4 /PDMS-based flexible devices show attractive performance in energy harvesting with an open-circuit voltage of 19.70 V, short-circuit current of 4.24 µA, and powder density of 11.72 µW cm-2 , catching up with those of piezoelectric ceramic composites. Meanwhile, these film devices show excellent capability in accurately sensing human body motions, such as finger bending and tapping. This work demonstrates that (BTMA)2 CoBr4 and related piezoelectric lead-free halides can be promising molecular materials in modern energy and sensing applications.

Abstract
Wearable sensors have gained popularity over the years since they offer constant and real-time physiological information about the human body. Wearable sensors have been applied in a variety of ways in clinical settings to monitor health conditions. These technologies require energy sources to carry out their projected functionalities. In this paper, we review the main energy sources used to power wearable sensors. These energy sources include batteries, solar cells, biofuel cells, supercapacitors, thermoelectric generators, piezoelectric and triboelectric generators, and radio frequency (RF) energy harvesters. Additionally, we discuss wireless power transfer and some hybrids of the above technologies. The advantages and drawbacks of each technology are considered along with the system components and attributes that make these devices function effectively. The objective of this review is to inform researchers about the latest developments in this field and present future research opportunities.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are currently an active research topic in the field of energy and next-generation electronics. Their selectable organic and inorganic components provide infinite possibilities for designing functional materials with multiple applications. Herein, we present a new one-dimensional BaNiO3-like organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (thiazolidinium)CdBr3 (1), which displays a phase transition at 263 K and a switchable second harmonic generation (SHG) response. Intriguingly, 1 shows a pyroelectric coefficient pe of ∼0.6 μC·cm-2·K-1 and a piezoelectric output voltage of ∼2.0 V for our fabricated piezoelectric generation device, indicating its great potential for pyroelectric sensors, self-powered low-voltage electronic devices, and energy harvesters. Moreover, the presence of a specific thioether donor enables 1 to appropriately adsorb Pd(II) ions, which can be monitored by the corresponding change in phase transition behavior, SHG signal, and pyroelectric response. This work provides a new insight to develop new multifunctional materials, demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites to realize future self-powered low-voltage devices and energy harvesters.

Fluorinated Polyethylene Propylene Ferroelectrets with an Air-Filled Concentric Tunnel Structure: Preparation, Characterization, and Application in Energy Harvesting. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11121072. [PMID: 33271961 PMCID: PMC7761448 DOI: 10.3390/mi11121072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2020] [Revised: 11/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Fluorinated polyethylene propylene (FEP) bipolar ferroelectret films with a specifically designed concentric tunnel structure were prepared by means of rigid-template based thermoplastic molding and contact polarization. The properties of the fabricated films, including the piezoelectric response, mechanical property, and thermal stability, were characterized, and two kinds of energy harvesters based on such ferroelectret films, working in 33- and 31-modes respectively, were investigated. The results show that the FEP films exhibit significant longitudinal and radial piezoelectric activities, as well as superior thermal stability. A quasi-static piezoelectric d33 coefficient of up to 5300 pC/N was achieved for the FEP films, and a radial piezoelectric sensitivity of 40,000 pC/N was obtained in a circular film sample with a diameter of 30 mm. Such films were thermally stable at 120 °C after a reduction of 35%. Two types of vibrational energy harvesters working in 33-mode and 31-mode were subsequently designed. The results show that a power output of up to 1 mW was achieved in an energy harvester working in 33-mode at a resonance frequency of 210 Hz, referring to a seismic mass of 33.4 g and an acceleration of 1 g (g is the gravity of the earth). For a device working in 31-mode, a power output of 15 μW was obtained at a relatively low resonance frequency of 26 Hz and a light seismic mass of 1.9 g. Therefore, such concentric tunnel FEP ferroelectric films provide flexible options for designing vibrational energy harvesters working either in 33-mode or 31-mode to adapt to application environments.

Abstract
A single-structured multifunctional device capable of energy harvesting and sensing multiple physical signals has significant potential for a wide range of applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). In this study, the fabricated single-structured device based on methylammonium lead iodide-polyvinylidene fluoride (MAPbI3-PVDF) composite can harvest mechanical energy and simultaneously operate as a self-powered light and pressure sensor because of the combined photoelectric and piezoelectric/triboelectric properties of the MAPbI3-PVDF composite. Light-dependent dielectric and piezoelectric properties of composite films are thoroughly investigated. Light and contact electrification effect on device performance in both piezoelectric and triboelectric modes is also systematically investigated. When the device is operated as a harvester in both piezoelectric and triboelectric modes, remarkable light-driven outputs were observed under illumination; the outputs decreased in the piezoelectric mode, while they increased in the triboelectric mode. Such light-controlled properties enabled the device to operate as a self-powered photodetector with outstanding responsivity (∼129.2 V/mW), rapid response time (∼50 ms), and satisfactory detectivity (∼1.4 × 1010 Jones) in the piezoelectric mode. The same device could also operate as a pressure sensor that exhibited excellent pressure sensitivity values of 0.107 and 0.194 V/kPa in the piezoelectric and triboelectric modes, respectively. In addition, the device exhibits a fast response time with long-term on-off switching properties, excellent mechanical durability, and long-term stability.

Abstract
Recently, low-dimensional organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites have attracted a great deal of attention due to their outstanding tunable broadband emission, while the toxicity of lead hinders their further application in the photoelectric field. Here, we report a novel lead-free Cu(I)-based organic-inorganic perovskite-related material of a (MA)4Cu2Br6 single crystal with zero-dimensional clusters, which is a unique Cu2Br64- corner-sharing tetrahedron dimer structure consisting of two connected tetrahedra. The single crystal displays a bright broadband green emission with a high photoluminescence with a quantum yield of ≤93%, a large Stokes shift, and a very long (microsecond) photoluminescence (PL) lifetime, resulting from self-trapped exciton emission. The direct band gap characteristic of (MA)4Cu2Br6 was proven by density functional theory calculation, and its band gap was determined by experiments to be ∼3.87 eV. In the temperature range of 98-258 K, the PL intensity increases gradually with an increase in temperature due to the deep trapping out of strong electro-phonon coupling, while the PL decreases when the temperature increases over 258 K due to phonon scattering. It is worth mentioning that this new material has high chemical and light stability, in contrast to the lead perovskite.
