Abstract: A mesoporous piezoelectric or ferroelectric (FE) Al2O3/P(VDF-TrFE) membrane can actively suppress anode dendrites formation when used as a separator in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries. When the positive polarization side of the FE separator faces the metal anode during charging, the FE separator can reverse the local energetics for Zn2+ reduction at the protrusion area and deplete incoming Zn2+ ions to the flat region. As a result, the symmetric Zn—Zn cell with this P+ separator can achieve a substantially higher cycling stability.

Abstract: An energy harvesting system for use with the human body may use an eccentrically mounted weight winding a mainspring that drives a mechanical clock mechanism. The mechanical clock mechanism in turn may produce pulses of electricity, for example, through periodic flexing of a piezoelectric or triboelectric material during the regular motion of the mechanical timing mechanism. By remaining in a mechanical rather than electrical domain, improved simplicity and efficiency may be obtained in the generation of regularly spaced uniform pulses.
