An engineered nanoporous carbon scaffold (NCS) consisting of a 3-D interconnected 85 nm nanopore network was used here as a model material to investigate the nanoscale transport of liquids as a function of the polarity and magnitude of an applied potential ('electro-imbibition'), all in 1 M KCl solution. A camera was used to track both meniscus formation and meniscus jump, front motion dynamics, and droplet expulsion, while also quantifying the electrocapillary imbibition height () as a function of the applied potential of the NCS material. Although no imbibition was seen over a wide range of potentials, at positive potentials (+1.

In this work, a paraelectric complex perovskite Ba(ZnNb)O (BZN) was introduced into the morphotropic boundary composition (BiNa)BaTiO (BNBT) to modulate the phase structure and electrical properties as well as the field-induced strain behavior. Using a columbite route, the ceramics with pure perovskite structure were successfully fabricated. The structure and electrical measurements showed that the introduction of BZN into BNBT results in the decrease of the rhombohedrality 90-, and promotes the evolution from ferroelectric to antiferroelectric (AFE) relaxor.
