A novel aggregation enhanced emission (AEE)-active polyamide TPA-CN-TPE with a high photoluminesence characteristic was successfully synthesized by the direct polymerization of 4-cyanotriphenyl diamine (TPA-CN) and tetraphenylethene (TPE)-containing dicarboxylic acid. The obtained luminescent polyamide plays a significant role as the polymer electret layer in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs)-type memory. The strong green emission of TPA-CN-TPE under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can be directly absorbed by the pentacene channel, displaying a light-induced programming and voltage-driven erasing organic phototransistor-based nonvolatile memory. Memory window can be effectively manipulated between the programming and erasing states by applying UV light illumination and electrical field, respectively. The photoinduced memory behavior can be maintained for over 10 s between these two states with an on/off ratio of 10, and the memory switching can be steadily operated for many cycles. With high photoresponsivity ( R) and photosensitivity ( S), this organic phototransistor integrated with AEE-active polyamide electret layer could serve as an excellent candidate for UV photodetectors in optical applications. For comparison, an AEE-inactive aromatic polyimide TPA-PIS electret with much weaker solid-state emission was also applied in the same OFETs device architecture, but this device did not show any UV-sensitive and UV-induced memory characteristics, which further confirmed the significance of the light-emitting capability of the electret layer.

Modification of the dielectric friction layer materials is an ideal way to enhance the output performance of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), but current research mostly focuses on the metal-polymer or metal-SiO materials. In this work, we constructed different TENG models based on polymer C F -SiO electret materials, and the electronic properties of the different contact surfaces were investigated using first principles. We found that the charge transfer in C F -SiO materials occurred only at the contact interface, and it was partially affected by the terminal atoms near the SiO interface.

The application of biodegradable electrospun poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibrous membranes (FMs) toward respiratory protection has long been dwarfed by the poor electret effect and short service life. Herein, a micro-on-nano (MON) approach was proposed to fabricate highly electroactive dual-scale poly(lactic acid) (DS-PLA) FMs consisting of inner-layer nanofibers (667 nm) and outer-layer microfibers (1.22 µm).

Energy harvesting from ubiquitous natural water vapor based on moisture electric generator (MEG) technology holds great potential to power portable electronics, the Internet of Things, and wireless transmission. However, most devices still encounter challenges of low output, and a single MEG complemented with another form of energy harvesting for achieving high power has seldom been demonstrated. Herein, we report a flexible and efficient hybrid generator capable of harvesting moisture and tribo energies simultaneously, both from the source of water droplets.

Addressing environmental concerns and producing sustainable and environmentally friendly electronic devices with low power consumption poses a significant challenge. This study introduces phototransistor devices employing morphologically controlled block copolymers based on maltotriose, maltoheptaose, and β-cyclodextrin as polymer electrets. Ordered self-assembled morphologies can be achieved by utilizing microwave radiation for rapid annealing (within 5 s) with optimized annealing conditions.
