Swift Assembly of Adaptive Thermocell Arrays for Device-Level Healable and Energy-Autonomous Motion Sensors.

The evolution of wearable technology has prompted the need for adaptive, self-healable, and energy-autonomous energy devices. This study innovatively addresses this challenge by introducing an MXene-boosted hydrogel electrolyte, which expedites the assembly process of flexible thermocell (TEC) arrays and thus circumvents the complicated fabrication of typical wearable electronics. Our findings underscore the hydrogel electrolyte's superior thermoelectrochemical performance under substantial deformations and repeated self-healing cycles.

Mechanical, thermal and fire performance of an inorganic-organic insulation material composed of hollow glass microspheres and phenolic resin.

Hypothesis: Organic foamy materials possess good thermal insulation properties and inorganic materials are non-combustible. Hence, it is possible to develop a kind of organic-inorganic lightweight thermal insulation materials with excellent fire safety.

Experiments: Hollow glass microsphere (HGM), as one kind of lightweight noncombustible inorganic material, was chosen as the filling material.
