In the era of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), sensors have become an integral part of intelligent systems. Although the traditional sensing technology is very mature in long-term development, there are remaining defects and limitations that make it difficult to meet the growing demands of current applications, such as high-sensitivity detection and self-supplied sensing. As a new type of sensor, array triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG)-based tactile sensors can respond to wide dynamic range of mechanical stimuli in the surrounding environment and converting them into quantifiable electrical signals, thus realizing real-time self-supplied tactile sensing. The array structure allows for fine delineation of the sensing area and improved spatial resolution, resulting in accurate localization and quantification of the detected tactile signals, and have been widely used in wearable devices, smart interaction, medical and health detection, and other fields. In this paper, the latest research progress of functional tactile sensors based on arrayed triboelectric nanogenerators is systematically reviewed from the aspects of working mechanism, material selection, material processing, structural design, functional integration, and application. Finally, the challenges faced by arrayed triboelectric tactile sensors are summarized with a view to providing inspiration and guidance for the future development of tactile sensors.

A colloidal synthesis protocol is demonstrated for InAs@InP core@shell quantum dots (QDs) with a tunable InP shell thickness (ranging from 3 to 8 monolayers), utilizing tris(diethylamino)-arsine and -phosphine. Structural analysis reveals that the InP shell preferentially grows onto the tetrahedral InAs cores along the <-1-1-1> directions, forming tetrapodal-shaped InAs@InP QDs. Growth of the InP shell causes a red shift in the absorption spectrum of the QDs. This is explained by considering that electrons are delocalized throughout the whole core@shell QDs, while holes preferentially leak along the <-1-1-1> directions, as indicated by the density functional theory calculations. This means such heterostructures cannot be described as type-I or quasi type-II, contrary to earlier assumptions. The overlap of carrier wavefunctions throughout the entire InAs@InP QD structure results in no significant reduction of the Auger recombination rate, which remains as fast as in InAs QDs. However, the InP shell enhances photoluminescence (PL) efficiency (up to ≈13%) by passivating surface trap states of the InAs QDs (mainly located close to the top of the valence band). The overgrowth of a ZnSe shell endows the QDs with a high PL efficiency (≈55%) and good stability upon air exposure (≈80% PL intensity retention after 14 days).

High-quality perovskite (PVK) films is essential for the fabrication of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, unstable colloidal particles in PVK suspensions often hinder the formation of crystalline films with low defect densities. Herein, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a colloidal stabilizer into lead iodide (PbI2) is introduced colloidal solutions. EDTA forms chelated complexes with Pb2+, enhancing the electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance between colloidal particles. This stabilizes the particles and inhibits disordered motion (Brownian motion) and excessive aggregation. As a result, PbI2 films with a uniform hole distribution are formed, providing ample pathways for subsequent PVK film growth and sufficient space. During the film formation process, the replacement of molecules by formamidinium iodide (FAI) and EDTA slows down crystallization, ultimately leading to PVK films with large grain sizes and low defect density. By using this approach, champion power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 24.05% for FA0.97Cs0.03PbI3 PSC, 11.08% for CsPbBr3 PSC, and 25.19% for FA0.945MA0.025Cs0.03Pb(I0.975Br0.025)3 PSC are achieved. Moreover, the EDTA-based FA0.97Cs0.03PbI3 device retains over 90% of its initial PCE after 1000 h at the maximum power point (MPP) under continuous illumination.

Vanadate materials are promising for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost, high capacity, and high power characteristics enabled by vanadium's multiple oxidation states. However, their development is hindered by poor conductivity, suboptimal high-rate performance, and limited cycle life. In this work, a layered structure modification strategy involving Ca/F co-doping in sodium vanadate Na2CaV2O6F (CVF) is proposed to address these issues. Through a combination of experiments and density functional theory calculations, it is demonstrated that Ca/F synergies enhance the Na layer spacing in CVF, resulting in reduced crystal water content and volume shrinkage compared to Na2V2O6 (NVO). Additionally, Ca/F incorporation significantly mitigates the diffusion potential of Na+ within the material framework. The unmodified CVF sample exhibits a high reversible capacity of 220 mAh g−1 at 10 mA g−1 and an excellent rate capacity of 65.78 mAh g−1 at 400 mA g−1. Furthermore, the cathode material maintains a capacity of up to 138 mAh g−1 at 200 mA g−1 and retains 104.88 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles within the voltage range of 1.5−4.0 V. These findings enhance the understanding of the crystal structure of NVO cathode materials and pave the way for the rational design of high-quality vanadate cathodes for SIBs.
钒酸盐材料因其低成本、高容量和钒的多种氧化态带来的高功率特性,在钠离子电池(SIB)中大有可为。然而,由于导电性差、高倍率性能不理想以及循环寿命有限,钒酸盐材料的发展受到了阻碍。本研究提出了一种在钒酸钠 Na2CaV2O6F (CVF) 中掺杂 Ca/F 的分层结构改性策略,以解决这些问题。通过实验和密度泛函理论计算相结合的方法,证明了 Ca/F 协同作用增强了 CVF 中的 Na 层间距,从而与 Na2V2O6 (NVO) 相比降低了晶体含水量和体积收缩。此外,Ca/F 的加入大大减轻了 Na+ 在材料框架内的扩散潜力。未经改性的 CVF 样品在 10 mA g-1 的条件下显示出 220 mAh g-1 的高可逆容量,在 400 mA g-1 的条件下显示出 65.78 mAh g-1 的出色速率容量。此外,该阴极材料在 200 mA g-1 时可保持高达 138 mAh g-1 的容量,在 1.5-4.0 V 的电压范围内循环 100 次后可保持 104.88 mAh g-1 的容量。这些发现加深了人们对 NVO 阴极材料晶体结构的理解,为合理设计用于 SIB 的高质量钒酸盐阴极铺平了道路。

In situ formed poly(1,3-dioxolane) (PDOL) electrolytes are of great interest due to the facile process and the improved interface contact. However, the practical application of in situ PDOL electrolytes is still plagued by fast solidification time (liquid state) and poor high-voltage stability (solid state). Herein, the slow-release carriers triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC), which play dual roles as initiator sustained-release and network confinement, can tune DOL curing time and cathode/electrolyte interface chemistry is demonstrated. Specifically, the electronegative C≐O and epoxy groups in TGIC have an affinity with BF3, the decomposition product of lithium bis(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB), delaying BF3 protonation reaction and thus extending DOL solidification time. In addition, the epoxy groups in TGIC serve as crosslinking sites to form in situ crosslinked polymer electrolytes (TPDOL@FEC). The corresponding network structure suppresses the contact reaction between high-fluidity organic components and cathodes, generating a uniform and thin cathode electrolyte interface layer. As a result, the TPDOL@FEC precursor solution can remain its liquid state even after resting 24 h at room temperature. The assembled LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2||TPDOL@FEC||Li cells display an impressive capacity retention of 91.5% after 100 cycles at 4.4 V (0.5 C). This study is expected to be a leap in the pursuit of practically feasible in situ formed PDOL electrolytes.
