Stretchable piezoelectric biocrystal thin films
Stretchability is an essential property for wearable devices to match varying strains when interfacing with soft tissues or organs. While piezoelectricity has broad application potentials as tactile sensors, artificial skins, or nanogenerators, enabling ...

Inverse Domain‐Size Dependence of Piezoelectricity in Ferroelectric Crystals
Piezoelectricity of ferroelectric crystals is widely utilized in electromechanical devices such as sensors and actuators. It is broadly believed that the smaller the ferroelectric domain size, the higher the piezoelectricity, arising from the commonly ...

Unconventional piezoelectric coefficients in perovskite piezoelectric ceramics
Piezoelectric ceramics exhibit three conventional piezoelectric coefficients, i.e., d33, d31, d15, due to their ∞mm crystal symmetry. Unconventional piezoelectric coefficients, such as d11, d12, d13, d14, d16, etc., can only be extracted from piezoelectric single crystals of special symmetry with specific cut direction.

A molecular perovskite solid solution with piezoelectricity stronger than lead zirconate titanate
A flexible strategy for piezoelectrics Piezoelectric materials produce charge when they are deformed, making them ideal for various types of sensors. However, virtually all piezoelectric materials are ceramics, which are far from ideal for applications ...
