Integration of Electrochromic Technology in Energy Applications
Multifunctional systems that serve simultaneously as two or more devices have attracted significant attention due to the high integration of electronic devices in cutting-edge technologies. In this work, we introduce the versatile use of electrochromism including thermal management and energy storage. In particular, we are going to describe all-in-one type, single-layer device platforms based on solid-state ionic conductors. It also covers effective strategies to tune electrochromic performance

Monolithically integrated ionic triboelectric nanogenerators for deformable energy harvesting and self powered sensing
Stretchable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have garnered significant attention as wearable power sources by enabling the realization of self-powered systems through integration with other wearable platforms. However, achieving intrinsically stretchable TENGs with stable performance under deformation remains a major challenge, particularly in forming robust dielectric/electrode interfaces and fabricating fully stretchable materials. Here, we propose the intrinsically stretchable ionogel-based TENGs (S-iTENG) with a monolithic structure by directly coating silver nanowires (AgNWs) onto free-standing ionogel. The ionogel serves as the substrate, charge-generating, and trapping layer, simplifying device configuration. Its hydrophilic characteristics improve the wettability of AgNWs and their interfacial adhesion. The optimized S-iTENG exhibits a power density of similar to 109.8 mW.m(-2), excellent stretchability (similar to 195%), and stable operation even under 80% strain. The practical feasibility of the S-iTENG is demonstrated in self-powered sensory platforms. Overall, these results highlight the significance of monolithic, substrate-free S-iTENG as wearable energy harvesters and key components for future wearable electronics.
