Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Low Frequency Noise in Tantalum Capacitors

Active and Passive Electronic Components, 1987
Noise has been measured in a number of biased solid tantalum capacitors at frequencies down to 0.01 Hz. The noise current was found to have a 1/f power spectrum, and the amplitude varied with the bias voltage with a law in the range 1st to 4th power ...

Efficient circuit design for low power energy harvesting

AIP Advances, 2020
We present five circuit topologies for low power energy harvesting. The most efficient circuit uses a variable capacitor as the power source, a DC bias voltage to charge the variable capacitor, two transistors for rectification, and two storage ...

From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

Sub-Module Capacitor Voltage Ripple Suppression in MMDTC-Based PET Using Three-Port Active Bridge

Energies
For power electronic transformer (PET) based Modular Multilevel DC-Link Based T-type Converters (MMDTC) with Double Active Bridges (DABs) (namely DABs-based MMDTC-PET), the sub-module capacitor voltages exhibit relatively large ripples.

Polarizable Vanadium Dipoles Promote Water Dissociation on Vanadium‐Based Metal Organic Framework

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The polarization of unpaired V 3d electrons weakens the H─O bond to improve water dissociation by the dual Vδ+:O─H and Pλ−:H─O coupling hydrogen bonds formation and relaxation. P@V‐MOF electrocatalyst shows low overpotentials (94 mV in acid, 178 mV in neutral, and 77 mV in alkaline solutions) with excellent stability for effective overall water ...

Peak-Zero-DPWM for Improving Performance of Single-Phase Five-Level T-Type NPC Inverter

IEEE Access
The discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM) improves the efficiency and reliability of power devices by reducing the switching losses. However, it aggravates the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of outputs and the reliability of DC-link capacitors ...

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

EMI Reduction in Grid-Connected Converters Using the Nonlinear Behavior of Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors

IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics
In soft switching power converters, placing a capacitor parallel to the switching semiconductor power devices is a means to reduce electromagnetic interference. This paper investigates the application of multi-layer ceramic capacitors, MLCCs, as parallel
