    Abstract Aloe-emodin (AE) is a natural compound with photodynamic properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of AE-mediated photodynamic inactivation (PDI) on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The bacteriostatic efficiency under different photodynamic conditions and photosensitizing mechanism was studied in detail. The results showed that AE-mediated PDI exhibited a typical concentration and time-dependent characteristics. In terms of bactericidal mechanism, disruption of membrane integrity and increase of cell membrane permeability was observed. Type II reaction was assumed as the main photochemical reaction involved in AE-mediated PDI as evidenced by the action of different ROS quenching agents. Furthermore, AE-mediated PDI decreased the bacterial survival in freshly squeezed apple juice and maintained its quality. The combination of blue light and AE enlarged the application of AE as an effective natural photosensitizer suitable for a food system.

    Abstract Energy harvesting plays an important role in developing power-independent electronics such as wearables, implantable devices, monitoring networks, and robotics. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), a novel promising energy-harvesting technology, has attracted increasing attention across a broad range of applications from self-powered sensing to implantable medical devices to blue energy. However, a comprehensive review associated with the TENG-based hybrid energy system is lacking. Here, we systematically summarize the recent advances in the TENG-based hybrid energy-harvesting system with a focus on the concept designs and significant applications of the hybrid devices in various fields. The major hybridization designs through unique combinations of electromagnetic nanogenerators (NGs), piezoelectric NGs, solar cells, and thermo-/pyroelectric NGs with TENGs are discussed in detail for self-charging power units, self-powered biomedical systems, wearable electronics, environment-monitoring systems, and blue energy-harvesting facilities. We finally discuss the major challenges and perspectives for the future development of hybrid energy-harvesting systems.

    Abstract Owing to the perfect combination of metallic conductivity, liquid fluidity, and mechanical stability, liquid metals (LMs) are considered the potential materials of the electromechanical system and the basic components of liquid robot. Here, triboelectric effect-driven liquid metal actuators (TLMAs) have been demonstrated, in which the motions of LMs could be driven and accurately controlled by triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). By the coulomb forces of transferred triboelectric charges in interdigital electrodes and inertia effects, the LM could be driven for continuous linear and circular motions, respectively. As an alternative structure, the motion of LMs could also be accurately controlled, in which the reciprocating and merging of LMs have been demonstrated. Moreover, the TLMA could serve as a control switch to modulate on/off of an LED by integrating into a circuit, and a transport system based on TLMA has also been demonstrated. In this work, the TENG is used as a medium to first drive and accurately control LMs by external mechanical force, which may have great applications in Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS), liquid robot, and intelligent microcontroller.

    Abstract Stretchable electronics are of great significance for the development of the next-generation smart interactive systems. Here, we propose an intrinsically stretchable organic tribotronic transistor (SOTT) without a top gate electrode, which is composed of a stretchable substrate, silver nanowire electrodes, semiconductor blends, and a nonpolar elastomer dielectric. The drain-source current of the SOTT can be modulated by external contact electrification with the dielectric layer. Under 0-50% stretching both parallel and perpendicular to the channel directions, the SOTT retains great output performance. After being stretched to 50% for thousands of cycles, the SOTT can survive with excellent stability. Moreover, the SOTT can be conformably attached to the human hand, which can be used for tactile signal perception in human-machine interaction and for controlling smart home devices and robots. This work has realized a stretchable tribotronic transistor as the tactile sensor for smart interaction, which has extended the application of tribotronics in the human-machine interface, wearable electronics, and robotics.

    Abstract There is a tremendous interest to harvest ocean wave energy due to its promising advantages of high-power density, wide distribution, independence of time of day, weather or seasons, and sustainability. However, most of the current energy harvesters or converters based on electromagnetic generators are suffering from unsatisfactory efficiency at low ocean wave triggering frequency and have the drawbacks of complex design, high cost and ease of corrosion in seawater. In this work, we report a matryoshka-inspired hierarchically structured triboelectric nanogenerator (HS-TENG) by nest-assembling multiple shells with decreasing sizes for effectively harvesting low-frequency wave energies with low-cost, high power density and high efficiency. As a proof-of-concept, we have fabricated a three-hierarchical-level HS-TENG by nesting three spherical acrylic shells filled with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) balls into the gap spaces between the neighboring shells. The important factors that may affect the energy harvesting performance of the HS-TENG are studied, including the size and number of moving balls, the diameter of the holding shell, the amplitude and frequency of wave actuation, as well as the orientation angle between wave motion direction and electrode gap. It is demonstrated that the HS-TENG has superior output performance over the traditional single ball TENG (SB-TENG), with a maximum output peak power of 544 μW at a low frequency of 2 Hz, more than 6.5 times of that obtained by a SB-TENG with the same size, capable of driving different wearable electronics. Based on the optimized design, we further demonstrate that a HS-TENG network formed by a 3 × 3 device array can directly lighten dozens of light-emitting diodes and power an electronic thermometer for monitoring water condition, indicating its capability in effectively harvesting water wave energy for potential large-scale deployment in the ocean. This study provides an innovative hierarchical structure that can effectively improve the output performance of TENGs and paves the way for developing next-generation high-performance TENGs for blue energy harvesting.
