While thermoelectric conversion by a thermocapacitive cycle has been considered a promising green technology for low-grade heat recovery, our study finds that its practical feasibility is overestimated. During thermal charging, the coexistence and dynamic competition between thermal-induced voltage rise and self-discharge lead to the limitations of the thermocapacitive cycle. Therefore, the operational conditions in the charge-heat-discharge steps seriously restrict the thermal charging performance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the interaction between capacitive and memristive effects in electronic components, specifically exploring the concept of a supercapacitor-memristor called CAPistor.
  • The CAPistor utilizes non-linear ion transport in a specific metal-organic framework, allowing for different behaviors of ion conductivity based on voltage changes, resulting in hysteresis.
  • This innovative device combines features of supercapacitors and memristors, opening up new possibilities in energy storage applications, as well as fields like biomimetic ionics and neuromorphic computing.

Herein, we develop a surface-reinforced self-supporting fiber electrode the simple-yet-reliable ink-extrusion technology to introduce a thin polymer layer at the electrode surface, which endows the fiber architecture with sufficient rigidity for the subsequent fiber cell assembly. Such fiber LiFePO//LiTiO full cells exhibit high linear capacity output (0.144 mA h cm) and energy density (0.
