Micro/nano self-powered device based on interface regulation strategy

Abstract

Micro/nano self-powered devices offer innovative solutions for efficient energy conversion, driving advancements in wearable devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence technology. The interface regulation strategies can accurately change the interface properties via interface defect control, composite materials preparation, heterojunction design, and other methods and significantly impact the performance improvement of micro/nano self-powered devices. Extensive efforts have been focused on leveraging this strategy to optimize the functionality of the devices. However, the prominent research advances in terms of electronics, micro/nano self-powered devices, and their relationship have not been systematically reviewed, which is highly attractive for advanced micro-type low-energy consuming devices. This study focuses on reviewing interface regulation strategies and exploring their varied applications in micro/nano self-powered devices. It summarizes the latest research developments and comprehensively outlines the crucial role of interface regulation strategies for ensuring stability, optimizing performance, and expanding the application potential of micro/nano self-powered devices. The comprehensive outlook in this review proposes a roadmap for ongoing and future research endeavors in the ever-evolving field of low-energy electronics.
