The self-driven flexible piezoelectric sensor has wide application prospects in areas such as health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and warning detection due to its advantages of non-toxicity and high sensitivity. In this study, a composite film of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] doped with NaNbO 3 (NN) was prepared by electrospinning. The highly oriented NN particles promote the formation of P(VDF-TrFE) β phase, reaching a maximum β phase content of 91%. Under mechanical motion at a frequency of approximately 3 Hz, the piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) fabricated from the nanofiber membrane achieved a maximum piezoelectric output of 17.3 V and 12 V in the transverse and longitudinal piezoelectric responses, respectively. With an external load of 100 MΩ, the PENG obtained a maximum power density of 0.67 μW/cm². Additionally, the PENG sensor exhibited sensitivity to various human activities and demonstrated high sensitivity and rapid response in monitoring the status of the proposed door lock opening/closing, highlighting its enormous potential in security monitoring applications.
Herein, we first designed a one-step strategy to achieve matrix-free room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials by low temperature solid phase synthesis, using sodium citrate as carbon source and urea as nitrogen source. The NaF, NaCl, NaBr, and NaI were chosen as the inducer source of halogens to effective trigger the RTP emission from graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (CNQDs) denoted F-CNQDs, Cl-CNQDs, Br-CNQDs and I-CNQDs. All the doped-CNQDs emitted bright fluorescence upon 365 nm irradiation. After the 365 nm UV lamp is off, only the Br-CNQDs showed green phosphorescence which can be observed by naked eye. The phosphorescence emission of Br-CNQDs is excitation-dependent from 510 to 610 nm with the average RTP lifetime of 70 milliseconds, which indicated Br-CNQDs could exhibit color-tunable phosphorescence. When 365 nm UV is off, Br-CNQDs emitted green afterglow for about 3 seconds observed naked eye, while the Br-CNQDs presented visible yellow afterglow for about 3 seconds with ceasing off 395 nm irradiation. The absolute phosphorescence quantum yield (PQY) of the Br-CNQDs powder reaches up to 3.64%. Thus, the color change and long lifetime of phosphorescence from the excitation-dependent feature could provide a security application for counterfeiting and information protection systems.
