Bio‐Inspired Robust Non‐combustible Bioplastic with Superinsulated Energy Harvesting for Intelligent Firefighting

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel non‐combustible chitosan‐based bioplastic (NCCB) via ethanol‐induced surface assembly. The material's inherent flame retardancy and thermally insulating, rough surface enable high‐performance TENGs. The NCCB‐TENG maintains stable output even when exposed to fire and exhibits dual sensitivity to temperature (25–200°C) and ...
