In this research, monocrystalline gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) nanobelts were synthesized through oxidation of metal gallium at high temperature. An electronic device, based on an individual Ga₂O₃ nanobelt on Pt interdigital electrodes (IDEs), was fabricated to investigate the electrical characteristics of the Ga2O3 nanobelt in a dry atmosphere at room temperature. The current-voltage (I-V) and I/V-t characteristics show the capacitive behavior of the Ga₂O₃ nanobelt, indicating the existence of capacitive elements in the Pt/Ga₂O₃/Pt structure.

In this paper, it is integrated a piezoelectric energy harvester and a supercapacitor storage device on a flexible substrate with a connection through an innovative alternative current (AC) to direct current (DC) boosting power management system for wearable biosensors' power supply. Flexible substrates can conform to irregular surfaces or shapes, enabling energy harvesting and storage devices to be integrated into a variety of form factors, including curved or bendable surfaces. Having an integrated energy harvester and storage system ensures a reliable and portable power source, providing power autonomy.

Borophene, a semimetallic Dirac material with exceptional mechanical and electronic properties, shows great energy storage potential but requires conductive substrates for stability. A strategy for fabricating flexible and conductive rGO-supported borophene supercapacitor electrodes is proposed, featuring a layered assembly of borophene nanosheets sandwiched between rGO layers. This architecture prevents rGO nanosheet restacking, maintaining interlayer spacing at 5.

A novel hollow capacitive wind pressure sensor is for the first time proposed. The sensing element of the proposed sensor uses a non-parallel plate variable capacitor, whose movable electrode plate uses a transversely uniformly loaded annular conductive membrane with a fixed outer edge and a rigid inner edge (acting as the wind pressure sensitive element of the sensor). Due to the unique hollow configuration of the proposed sensor, it can be used alone to detect the pressure exerted by fast-moving air in the atmosphere or by fast-moving air or gas, etc.

The complex charge storage mechanisms in aqueous MnO-based supercapacitors have posed significant challenges to a comprehensive understanding of their chemical behavior. In this study, we employed Au-core@MnO-shell nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, alongside electrochemical analysis and X-ray absorption, to systematically investigate the competitive charge storage chemistry of protons and cations within the inner and outer layers of δ-MnO under alkaline conditions. Our findings reveal that δ-MnO operates through a dual mechanism: the intercalation and deintercalation of metal cations dominate charge storage in the inner layer, while surface chemisorption of protons governs the outer layer.
