The fabrication of self-powered pressure sensors based on piezoelectric materials requires flexible piezoelectric generators produced with a continuous, large-scale, and environmentally friendly approach. In this study, continuous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) sheets with a higher β-phase content were facilely fabricated by the melt-extrusion-calendering technique and a PVDF-based piezoelectric generator (PEG) was further assembled. Such a PEG exhibits a remarkable piezoelectric output performance. Moreover, it possesses prominent stability even after working for a long time, exhibiting potential applications for real-time monitoring of various human movements (i.e., hopping, running, and walking) and gait. This work not only provides the possibility of continuous and environmentally friendly fabrication of PVDF sheets with remarkable piezoelectric properties but also paves a new promising pathway for powering portable microelectronic applications without any external power supply.

Nestin-expressing hair-follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells from mouse and human have been shown to differentiate into neurons, glia, keratinocytes, smooth muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells, and melanocytes in vitro. HAP stem cells have promoted the recovery of peripheral nerve and spinal cord injuries in mouse models by differentiating into glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive Schwann cells. HAP stem cells enclosed on polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (PFM) were transplanted into the severed thoracic spinal cord of nude mice.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder removal is critical for the recovery of valuable metal materials during the treatment of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This study proposed a new PVDF removal method through subcritical methanol extraction. The optimal conditions and mechanism of the method for the liberation of cathode materials were explored, and the recovered cathode materials, aluminum foils (Al foils), and extracted binder were characterized.

In all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), silicon-based negative electrodes have the advantages of high theoretical specific capacity, low lithiation potential, and lower susceptibility to lithium dendrites. However, their significant volume variation presents persistent interfacial challenges. A promising solution lies in finding a material that combines ionic-electronic conductivity, stable physicochemical properties, and adhesive characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- Ferroelectric materials can switch their polarization with electric fields and are useful for applications in information storage, energy management, low-power electronics, and biomedical devices.
- Soft ferroelectrics, particularly those based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), often have high coercive fields and complex structures, which limit their effectiveness.
- A new type of ferroelectric material, created from water-soluble molecules and a peptide, shows improved characteristics like a much lower coercive field and a higher Curie temperature, making it a promising candidate for sustainable, advanced ferroelectric applications.
