Efficient thermoelectric energy conversion on quasi-localized electron states in diameter modulated nanowires

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2011
It is known that the thermoelectric efficiency of nanowires increases when their diameter decreases. Recently, we proposed that increase of the thermoelectric efficiency could be achieved by modulating the diameter of the nanowires.

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Quasi‐Periodic Porous Structures‐Based Temperature and Pressure Dual‐Mode Electronic Skin for Material Cognition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A quasi‐periodic porous structure‐based temperature and pressure dual‐mode electronic skin was proposed. Benefiting from the quasi‐periodic porous structure, the temperature and pressure sensing performance of the electronic skin can be precisely constructed and optimized by changing the size of the porous structure. By analyzing the thermoelectric and
