Abstract
Triboelectric devices, operating through contact electrification (CE) and electrostatic induction, have shown great promise in energy harvesting applications. However, optimizing charge transfer at the interface remains crucial for enhancing device performance. This study introduces a novel approach to harnessing CE by employing morphological and chemical modifications of polymers. Our strategy involves adjusting the elastomer base to curing agent ratio to fine-tune the chemical properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and introducing morphological modifications through a peeling and flipping (P/F) process of PDMS off the Si-substrate. Unlike conventional methods, the P/F-method minimally alters the intrinsic properties of PDMS, creating nanoscale surface corrugations adiabatically. We explore the mechanical, tribological, and electrical properties of the surface at the nano-scale and demonstrate that our approach allows for precise control of energy dissipation and electric potential at the surface, thereby optimizing charge transfer. Furthermore, we show that using a plasma-treated Si-substrate can further increase device performance up to 80% without affecting other properties. This study presents a comprehensive strategy for fine-tuning CE to enhance the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators.

Abstract
This work introduces a novel method to construct Schottky junctions to boost the output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Perovskite barium zirconium titanate (BZT) core/metal silver shell nanoparticles are synthesized to be embedded into electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) nanofibers before they are used as tribo-negative layers. The output power of TENGs with composite fiber mat exhibited >600% increase compared to that with neat polymer fiber mat. The best TENG achieved 1339 V in open-circuit voltage, 40 µA in short-circuit current and 47.9 W m-2 in power density. The Schottky junctions increased charge carrier density in tribo-layers, ensuring a high charge transfer rate while keeping the content of conductive fillers low, thus avoiding charge loss and improving performance. These TENGs are utilized to power radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for backscatter communication (BackCom) systems, enabling ultra-massive connectivity in the 6G wireless networks and reducing information communications technology systems' carbon footprint. Specifically, TENGs are used to provide an additional energy source to the passive tags. Results show that TENGs can boost power for BackCom and increase the communication range by 386%. This timely contribution offers a novel route for sustainable 6G applications by exploiting the expanded communication range of BackCom tags.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are green reinforcing materials, and their potential has been evaluated in the preparation of waterborne UV-curable resin composites with high-performance. Herein, we present a novel and scalable approach for preparing surface-modified CNCs with acrylic-based polymers to strengthen the compatibility and interaction between CNCs and UV-curable resins. Using tert-butyl acrylate as the monomer, the nanocellulose grafted copolymer CNC-g-PtBA was successfully synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in the presence of a macromolecular initiator. Then, the CNC-g-PtBA is blended into the acrylic resin as a nanofiller to prepare the UV-curable nanocomposite. The results indicated that the contact angle of the CNCs increased from 38.7° to approximately 74.8°, and their thermal stability was significantly improved after graft modification. This contributed to the effective alleviation of the agglomeration phenomenon of nanocomposites due to the high hydrophilicity of pure CNCs. Notably, not only was the UV curing efficiency of the nanocomposites greatly increased but the mechanical properties were also further enhanced. Specifically, with the addition of 0.5 wt% CNC-g-PtBA, the curing time of the nanocomposite was shortened from >30 mins down to approximately 6 mins, and the bending strength was increased from 10 MPa for the original resin and 5 MPa for the addition of pure CNCs to 14.3 MPa, and the bending modulus was also greatly increased (up to approximately 730 MPa). Compared to pure CNCs, they are compatible with the resin, exhibiting high mechanical strength and flexibility, and have virtually no effect on the light transmission of the nanocomposites. Additionally, dielectric analysis (DEA) was used to monitor the dielectric constant and conductivity of the UV-curable nanocomposites in real time to further characterize their curing kinetics. The permittivity of these nanocomposites increased by 125 % compared to pristine resin, which shows potential for applications in high dielectric composites or for improving electrical conductivity. This work provides a feasible method for preparing UV-curable nanocomposites with high curing efficiency and permittivity, realizing a wider application of this high-performance nanocomposite.

Abstract
In the most recent electronic and electric sectors, ceramic-polymer nanocomposites with high dielectric permittivity and energy density are gaining popularity. However, the main obstacle to improving the energy density in flexible nanocomposites, besides the size and morphology of the ceramic filler, is the low interfacial compatibility between the ceramic and the polymer. This paper presents an alternative solution to improve the dielectric permittivity and energy storage properties for electronic applications. Here, the poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) matrix is filled with surface-modified BaTi0.89Sn0.11O3/polydopamine nanoparticles (BTS11) nanoparticles, which is known for exhibiting multiphase transitions and reaching a maximum dielectric permittivity at room temperature. BTS11 nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel/hydrothermal method at 180 °C and then functionalized by polydopamine (PDA). As a result, the nanocomposites exhibit dielectric permittivity (εr) of 46 and a low loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.017 at 1 kHz at a relatively low weight fraction of 20 wt% of BTS11@PDA. This is approximately 5 times higher than the pure PVDF-HFP polymer and advantageous for energy storage density in nanocomposites. The recovered energy storage for our composites reaches 134 mJ cm-3 at an electric field of 450 kV cm-1 with a high efficiency of 73%. Incorporating PDA-modified BTS11 particles into the PVDF-HFP matrix demonstrates highly piezo-active regions associated with BTS11 particles, significantly enhancing functional properties in the polymer nanocomposites.

Abstract
Core-double-shell-structured nanocomposite films consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride-grafted-barium titanate (PVDF-g-BT) incorporated into a P(VDF-co-hexafluoropropylene (HFP)) copolymer matrix were produced via a solution mixing method for energy storage applications. The resulting films were thoroughly investigated via spectroscopic, thermal, and morphological analyses. Thermogravimetric data provided an enhancement of the thermal stability, while differential scanning calorimetry indicated an increase in the crystallinity of the films after the addition of PVDF-g-BT. Moreover, broadband dielectric spectroscopy revealed three dielectric processes, namely, glass-rubber relaxation (αa), relaxation associated with the polymer crystalline phase (αc), and slower relaxation in the nanocomposites resulting from the accumulation of charge on the interface between the PVDF-g-BT filler and the P(VDF-co-HFP) matrix. The dependence of the dielectric constant from the composition was analyzed, and we found that the highest permittivity enhancement was obtained by the highest concentration filler added to the largest concentration of P(VDF-co-HFP). Mechanical analysis revealed an improvement in Young's modulus for all nanocomposites versus pristine P(VDF-co-HFP), confirming the uniformity of the distribution of the PVDF-g-BT nanocomposite with a strong interaction with the copolymer matrix, as also evidenced via scanning electron microscopy. The suggested system is promising for use in high-energy-density storage devices as supercapacitors.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to accelerate the construction of smart cities. However, it requires more than 30 billion sensors to realize the IoT vision, posing great challenges and opportunities for industries of self-powered sensors. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), an emerging new technology, is capable of easily converting energy from surrounding environment into electricity, thus TENG has tremendous application potential in self-powered IoT sensors. At present, TENG encounters a bottleneck to boost output for large-scale commercial use if just by promoting triboelectric charge generation, because the output is decided by the triboelectric charge dynamic equilibrium between generation and decay. To break this bottleneck, the strategy of reducing triboelectric charge decay to enhance TENG output is focused. First, multiple mechanisms of triboelectric charge decay are summarized in detail with basic theoretical principles for future research. Furthermore, recent advances in reducing triboelectric charge decay are thoroughly reviewed and outlined in three aspects: inhibition and application of air breakdown, simultaneous inhibition of air breakdown and triboelectric charge drift/diffusion, and inhibition of triboelectric charge drift/diffusion. Finally, challenges and future research focus are proposed. This review provides reference and guidance for enhancing TENG output.

Abstract
Recently, scientists have been facing major obstacles in terms of improving the performances of dielectric materials for triboelectric nanogenerators. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is one of the first green energy technologies that can convert random mechanical kinetic energy into electricity. The surface charge density of TENGs is a critical factor speeding up their commercialization, so it is important to explore unique methods to increase the surface charge density. The key to obtaining a high-performance TENG is the preparation of dielectric materials with good mechanical properties, thermal stability and output performance. To solve the problem of the low output performance of PI-based triboelectric nanogenerators, we modified PI films by introducing nanomaterials and designed a new type of sandwich-shaped nanocomposite film. Herein, we used polyimide (PI) with ideal mechanical properties, excellent heat resistance and flexibility as the dielectric material, prepared an A-B-A sandwich structure with PI in the outer layer and modified a copper calcium titanate/polyimide (CCTO/PI) storage layer in the middle to improve the output of a TENG electrode. The doping amount of the CCTO was tailored. The results showed that at 8 wt% CCTO content, the electrical output performance was the highest, and the open-circuit voltage of CCTO/PI was 42 V. In the TENG, the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current and transfer charge of the prepared sandwich-structured film were increased by 607%, 629% and 672% compared to the TENG with the PI thin film, respectively. This study presents a novel strategy of optimizing dielectric materials for triboelectric nano-generators and has great potential for the future development of high output-performance TENGs.

Abstract
In the data-driven world, textile is a valuable resource for improving the quality of life through continuous monitoring of daily activities and physiological signals of humans. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are an attractive option for self-powered sensor development by coupling energy harvesting and sensing ability. In this study, to the best of the knowledge, scalable fabrication of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene-embedded polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite fiber using a thermal drawing process is presented for the first time. The output open circuit voltage and short circuit current show 53% and 58% improvement, respectively, compared to pristine PVDF fiber. The synergistic interaction between the surface termination groups of MXene and polar PVDF polymer enhances the performance of the fiber. The flexibility of the fiber enables the weaving of fabric TENG devices for large-area applications. The fabric TENG (3 × 2 cm2 ) demonstrates a power density of 40.8 mW m-2 at the matching load of 8 MΩ by maintaining a stable performance over 12 000 cycles. Moreover, the fabric TENG has shown the capability of energy harvesting by operating a digital clock and a calculator. A distributed self-powered sensor for human activities and walking pattern monitoring are demonstrated with the fabric.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are one of the most trending energy harvesting devices because of their efficient and simple mechanism in harvesting mechanical energy from the environment into electricity. Herein, ferroelectric and dielectric bismuth tungstate (Bi2 WO6 (BWO)) with a marigold flower-like structure is prepared via a hydrothermal method, which is embedded in poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), forming a PVDF-HFP/BWO composite polymer film (CPF) to fabricate TENGs. Generally, the ferroelectric materials exhibit a large piezoelectric coefficient, high electrostatic dipole moment, and high dielectric constant. The prepared PVDF-HFP/BWO CPF reveals a high polar crystalline β-phase which leads to enhanced piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of the CPF, thus resulting in the increased electrical performance of the fabricated TENG. The electrical output performance of the proposed TENG is systematically investigated by varying the amount of BWO material embedded in the PVDF-HFP polymer. The fabricated PVDF-HFP/2.5 wt% BWO CPF-based TENG device exhibits the highest electrical output performance. Additionally, the robust test of the TENG device is conducted to investigate the electrical performance for long-term durability and mechanical stability. Finally, the proposed TENG is operated as a self-powered sensor, harvesting mechanical energy from daily life human activities, and powering various low-power portable electronics.

Abstract
Material development is essential when studying triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). This importance is because the performance of TENGs is highly dependent on the properties of the utilized triboelectric materials. To obtain more specific properties, composites have been developed that combine the features of their components. According to Google Scholar, 55% of published papers related to triboelectric nanogenerators have utilized or mentioned composites. This number is 34.5% if one searches with the keyword nanocomposites instead of composites. The importance of composites is because they can exhibit new dielectric properties, better mechanical strength, enhanced charge affinities, etc. Therefore, the development of new composites has great importance in TENG studies. In this paper, we review the production of nanocomposites, the types of nanocomposites, and their application in TENG studies. This review gives an overview of how nanocomposites boost the performance of TENGs and provides guidance for future studies.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that utilize triboelectrification and electrostatic induction to convert mechanical energy to electricity have attracted increasing interest in the last 10 years. As a universal physical phenomenon, triboelectrification can occur between any two surfaces that experience physical contact and separation regardless of the type of material. For this reason, many materials, including both organic and inorganic materials, have been studied in TENGs with different purposes. Although organic polymers are mainly used as triboelectric materials in TENGs, the application of inorganic nanomaterials has also been intensively studied because of their unique dielectric, electric, piezoelectric, and optical properties, which can improve the performance of TENGs. A review of how inorganic nanomaterials are used in TENGs would help researchers gain an overview of the progress in this area. Here, we present a review to summarize how inorganic nanomaterials are utilized in TENGs based on the roles, types, and characteristics of the nanomaterials.

Combination of structure-performance and shape-performance relationships for better biphasic release in electrospun Janus fibers. Int J Pharm 2021; 596:120203.

Abstract
In nature, the combination of composition, structure, and shape determines the matter's functional performance to a large extent. Inspired by which, two electrospun Janus nanofiber formulations were created using side-by-side electrospinning in this work. Tamoxifen citrate (TAM) was used as a model drug and ethyl cellulose (EC) and polyvinylpyrrolidone K60 (PVP) as the polymer carrier matrices. The fibers have linear cylindrical morphologies and distinct Janus structures by scanning electron microscopy. One side of the fibers took a round shape, while the other was crescent-shaped. The drug was present in both polymer matrices in the form of amorphous solid dispersions, owing to strong intermolecular interactions between drug and polymer. In vitro dissolution tests demonstrated that both sets of fibers could provide biphasic drug release due to the difference in solubility of PVP and EC. The different shape of TAM-EC and TAM-PVP side of the Janus structure resulted in a considerable variation in the drug release profiles. The Janus structure with crescent TAM-PVP side and round TAM-EC side gave a more rapid burst release in the first phase of release, and slower sustained release in the second phase. This work thus reports a new strategy for systematically developing advanced functional nanomaterials based on both shape- and structure-performance relationships.

Abstract
Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs) are a highly efficient approach for mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion based on the coupling effects of contact electrification and electrostatic induction. TENGs have been intensively applied as both sustainable power sources and self-powered active sensors with a collection of compelling features, including lightweight, low cost, flexible structures, extensive material selections, and high performances at low operating frequencies. The output performance of TENGs is largely determined by the surface triboelectric charges density. Thus, manipulating the surface chemical properties via appropriate modification methods is one of the most fundamental strategies to improve the output performances of TENGs. This article systematically reviews the recently reported chemical modification methods for building up high-performance TENGs from four aspects: functional groups modification, ion implantation and decoration, dielectric property engineering, and functional sublayers insertion. This review will highlight the contribution of surface chemistry to the field of triboelectric nanogenerators by assessing the problems that are in desperate need of solving and discussing the field's future directions.

Abstract
Here, we report the effect of ZnO decoration on ZnSnO3 fillers on the dielectric property, energy storage behaviour and mechanical energy harvesting performance of PVDF matrixes. More enhanced dielectric constant and reduction in dielectric loss were achieved in PVDF-ZnO@ZnSnO3 (PVDF-ZNZS) films than in PVDF-ZnSnO3 (PVDF-ZS) films for the same concentration of filler loading. Similarly, PVDF-ZNZS films showed simultaneous enhancement in electrical energy storage density and storage efficiency compared to PVDF-ZS composites. As all the constituent materials (PVDF, ZnSnO3 and ZnO) were piezoelectric, the resulting composite film showed improved piezoelectric energy harvesting performance too. After rectification, the output ac voltage was used to charge a 10 μF capacitor up to ∼5 V dc which was further used to light up some LEDs. Furthermore, in order to exhibit improved sensitive output, a hybrid piezo-tribo nanogenerator was fabricated which was demonstrated as a motion sensor, a weight sensor and a human body movement sensor as part of a real life application.
