Flow-less and shape-conformable CNT sheet nanogenerator for self-powered motion sensor
Song, H.,Kim, T.,Im, H.,Ovalle-Robles, R.,Kang, T.,Kim, Y. Royal Society of Chemistry 2016 Nanoscale Vol.8 No.37
<P>A carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet nanogenerator that does not require any liquid or gas flow for power generation is developed on the basis of Coulombic interactions, making the device attractive as a building block for self-powered sensors. The working principle of the CNT nanogenerator is probed in terms of sweeping speed, distance between charged object and nanotube sheet, surface charge, and number of layers of nanotube sheet. The nature of the CNT sheet and its formation process is such that simply winding the CNT sheet stripe n times around a substrate leads to increasing the power n times. For a practical demonstration of the CNT nanogenerator, a self-powered sensor array screen is developed that can read finger movements, just as with a finger command on a smartphone screen.</P>

Kim, Ju Hyeon,Jeon, Jei Gyeong,Ovalle-Robles, Raquel,Kang, Tae June Elsevier 2018 International journal of hydrogen energy Vol.43 No.12
<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>In the development of hydrogen sensors, it is required to meet the demands of both high sensor performance as well as the ease of fabrication for mass production. For this purpose we proposed a chemiresistive hydrogen sensors based on an aerogel sheet of carbon nanotubes decorated with palladium nanoparticles (CNT/Pd sheet). The fabrication process is straightforward that a dry-spun CNT aerogel sheet is suspended between concentric electrodes followed by depositing Pd nanoparticles on CNT sheets by thermal evaporation. The present CNT/Pd sheet sensors can detect hydrogen at concentrations as low as 2 ppm at room temperature with a detection range from 2 to 1000 ppm. The aerogel nature of CNT/Pd sheet contributes to low detection limit and broad detection range of the CNT/Pd sensor. Relations between hydrogen concentration and sensor response and response time, and the effects of temperature on sensor performance were investigated.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> High performance CNT/Pd sheet hydrogen sensor arrays is fabricated. </LI> <LI> The LOD is 2 ppm at room temperature with a detection range from 2 to 1000 ppm. </LI> <LI> Relations between hydrogen concentration and sensor response and response time were investigated. </LI> <LI> The aerogel nature of CNT/Pd sheet contributes to low detection limit and broad detection range. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Obesity is characterized by an increase in the infiltration of monocytes into the adipose tissue, causing an inflammatory condition associated with, for example, the development of insulin resistance. Thus, anti-inflammatory-based treatments could emerge as a novel and interesting approach. It has been reported that Chilean native fruits maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) and calafate (Berberis microphylla) present high contents of polyphenols, which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of extracts of these fruits to block the pathogenic interaction between adipocytes and macrophages in vitro and to compare its effect with blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) extract treatment, which has been already described to possess several biomedical benefits. RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with 5 μg/mL lipopolysaccharides (LPS), with conditioned media (CM) from fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, or in a coculture (CC) with 3T3-L1 adipocytes, in the presence or absence of 100 μM [total polyphenolic content] of each extract for 24 h. The gene expression and secretion profile of several inflammatory markers were evaluated. Nitric oxide secretion induced by LPS, CM, and CC was reduced by the presence of maqui (- 12.2%, - 45.6%, and - 14.7%, respectively) and calafate (- 27.6%, - 43.9%, and - 11.8%, respectively) extracts. Gene expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and TNF-α was inhibited and of IL-10 was induced by maqui and calafate extract incubation. In conclusion, the extracts of these fruits present important inhibitory-like features over the inflammatory response of the interaction between adipocytes and macrophages, comprising a potential therapeutic tool against comorbidities associated with obesity development.

<P>Stretchable conductors can be used in various applications depending on their own characteristics. Here, we demonstrate simple and robust elastomeric conductors that are optimized for stretchable electrical signal transmission line. They can withstand strains up to 600% without any substantial change in their resistance (<= 10% as is and <= 1% with passivation), and exhibit suppressed charge fluctuations in the medium. The inherent elasticity of a polymeric rubber and the high conductivity of flexible, highly oriented carbon nanotube sheets were combined synergistically, without losing both properties. The nanoscopic strong adhesion between aligned carbon nanotube arrays and strained elastomeric polymers induces conductive wavy folds with microscopic bending of radii on the scale of a few micrometers. Such features enable practical applications such as in elastomeric length-changeable electrical digital and analog signal transmission lines at above MHz frequencies. In addition to reporting basic direct current, alternating current, and noise characterizations of the elastomeric conductors, various examples as a stretchable signal transmission line up to 600% strains are presented by confirming the capability of transmitting audio and video signals, as well as low-frequency medical signals without information distortion.</P>

<P>Utilizing highly oriented multiwalled carbon nanotube aerogel sheets, we fabricated micrometer-thick freestanding carbon nanotube (CNT) polarizers. Simple winding of nanotube sheets on a U-shaped polyethylene reel enabled rapid and reliable polarizer fabrication, bypassing lithography or chemical etching processes. With the remarkable extinction ratio reaching ∼37 dB in the broad spectral range from 0.1 to 2.0 THz, combined with the extraordinary gravimetric mechanical strength of CNTs, and the dispersionless character of freestanding sheets, the commercialization prospects for our CNT terahertz polarizers appear attractive.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/nalefd/2011/nalefd.2011.11.issue-10/nl202214y/production/images/medium/nl-2011-02214y_0005.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/nl202214y'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>With the growing demand for electronic medical devices for healthcare applications, we studied an implantable supercapacitor that can operate in an implantable electronic device. Here, we report a flexible implantable fiber supercapacitor for an in vivo energy storage device. The fiber supercapacitor has a high flexibility and a high potential to be applied in an implant device because the fiber can be implanted in the blood vessel and the wound can be stitched with the fiber-like suture. The fiber electrodes were fabricated in a biscrolling process that trapped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/ferritin nanoclusters within multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) sheets that provide mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. In addition, the supercapacitor is biocompatible because the MWNT sheets are coated with biocompatible materials such as PEDOT:PSS and ferritin. The areal capacitance of the PEDOT:PSS/ferritin/MWNT fiber supercapacitor was 32.9 mF/cm<SUP>2</SUP> in a phosphate buffered saline solution, and the areal energy density was 0.82 μWh/cm<SUP>2</SUP>; these values are 52 times higher than that of the guest-free MWNT yarn. The supercapacitor operated well in a mouse and exhibited excellent biocompatibility; the capacitance was maintained above 90% in the mouse after eight days.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Abdominal muscle of the mouse was stitched with the micro-diameter fiber supercapacitor like suture. </LI> <LI> The flexible fiber supercapacitor performance was maintained above 90% in the mouse after eight days. </LI> <LI> The PEDOT:PSS/ferritin nanocluster was enhancing the areal capacitance by the synergistic effect. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>The fiber supercapacitor has a high flexibility and a high potential to be applied in an implant device because the fiber can be implanted in the blood vessel and the wound can be stitched with the fiber-like suture.

<P>We report mechanically robust, electrically conductive, free-standing, and transparent hybrid nanomembranes made of densified carbon nanotube sheets that were coated with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) using vapor phase polymerization and their performance as supercapacitors. The hybrid nanomembranes with thickness of ∼66 nm and low areal density of ∼15 μg/cm<SUP>2</SUP>exhibited high mechanical strength and modulus of 135 MPa and 12.6 GPa, respectively. They also had remarkable shape recovery ability in liquid and at the liquid/air interface unlike previous carbon nanotube sheets. The hybrid nanomembrane attached on a current collector had volumetric capacitance of ∼40 F/cm<SUP>3</SUP> at 100 V s<SUP>–1</SUP> (∼40 and ∼80 times larger than that of onion-like carbon measured at 100 V s<SUP>–1</SUP> and activated carbon measured at 20 V s<SUP>–1</SUP>, respectively), and it showed rectangular shapes of cyclic voltammograms up to ∼5 V s<SUP>–1</SUP>. High mechanical strength and flexibility of the hybrid nanomembrane enabled twisting it into microsupercapacitor yarns with diameters of ∼30 μm. The yarn supercapacitor showed stable cycling performance without a metal current collector, and its capacitance decrease was only ∼6% after 5000 cycles. Volumetric energy and power density of the hybrid nanomembrane was ∼70 mWh cm<SUP>–3</SUP> and ∼7910 W cm<SUP>–3</SUP>, and the yarn possessed the energy and power density of ∼47 mWh cm<SUP>–3</SUP> and ∼538 W cm<SUP>–3</SUP>.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/ancac3/2012/ancac3.2012.6.issue-1/nn203640a/production/images/medium/nn-2011-03640a_0005.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/nn203640a'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

<P><B>Hierarchical carbon electrodes</B> with highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) fibrils are fabricated, and it is demonstrated that these electrodes, with aligned pores, can significantly enhance the cyclability and rate capability of Li−O<SUB>2</SUB> batteries. The highly aligned pore structure enables good accessibility of oxygen to the inner electrode, which leads to a uniform deposition of discharge products on the individual CNTs.</P>
