Barium titanate nanoparticles are desirable for a wide range of applications, spanning electronics to biomedicine. Here, we present an electrospray-based method for the synthesis of barium titanate nanomaterials, where their morphology can be altered, forming either particles or rods. As-electrosprayed particles are amorphous and spherical, but upon calcination in the presence of sodium chloride their morphology can vary from particles to rods as the calcination time is increased. The processing-structure-property relationships in these materials are discussed.

Porous piezoelectric materials have attracted much interest in the fields of sensing and energy harvesting owing to their low dielectric constant, high piezoelectric voltage coefficient, and energy harvesting figure of merit. However, the introduction of porosity can decrease the piezoelectric coefficient, which restricts the enhancement of output current and power density. Herein, to overcome these challenges, an array-structured piezoelectric composite energy harvester with aligned porosity was constructed via a dual structure design strategy to enhance the output current and power density.

Dual-Anion-Rich Polymer Electrolytes for High-Voltage Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

ACS Nano

Department of Physics, JC STEM Lab of Energy and Materials Physics, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 999077, P. R. China.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

Swift Droplet Manipulation on BTO/Polyimide Slippery Surfaces.

Langmuir

January 2025

Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for the Green Preparation and Application of Functional Materials, Hubei University, Wuhan 430062, People's Republic of China.

Droplet manipulation on functional surfaces is an urgent problem to be solved. Fast and precise droplet manipulation plays an important role in many applications, such as microreactors and microfluidics. Although numerous techniques have been developed to manipulate droplets by injecting external stimuli, it remains a challenge to achieve high-precision, high-sensitivity, and fast droplet manipulation on smart, slippery response surfaces.

Fabrication of Piezoelectric Structures with High Porosity by Digital Light Processing.

3D Print Addit Manuf

October 2024

School of Mechanical Engineering (Shandong Institute of Mechanical Design and Research), Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Jinan, China.

Digital light processing is a recently developed solution to fabricate complex structured piezoelectric devices. To obtain a high-performance device, the slurry configuration, model slicing, and heat treatment methods during the printing should be carefully determined. In this article, 200 nm particle size barium titanate powders with an optimized solid content of 80% (mass fraction) were used to configure the slurry with higher printing efficiency.
