A power management circuit with 50% efficiency and large load capacity for triboelectric nanogenerator

Recently, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), as a collection technology with characteristics of high reliability, high energy density and low cost, has attracted more and more attention. However, the energy coming from TENGs needs to be stored in a storage unit effectively due to its unstable ac output. The traditional energy storage circuit has an extremely low energy storage efficiency for TENGs because of their high internal impedance. This paper presents a new power management circuit used to optimize the energy using efficiency of TENGs, and realize large load capacity. The power management circuit mainly includes rectification storage circuit and DC-DC management circuit. A rotating TENG with maximal energy output of 106 mW at 170 rpm based on PCB is used for the experimental verification. Experimental results show that the power energy transforming to the storage capacitor reach up to 53 mW and the energy using efficiency is calculated as 50%. When different loading resistances range from 0.82 to 34.5 kΩ are connected to the storage capacitor in parallel, the power energy stored in the storage capacitor is all about 52.5 mW. Getting through the circuit, the power energy coming from the TENGs can be used to drive numerous conventional electronics, such as wearable watches.     

A novel polishing technology for epoxy resin based on 355 nm UV laser

The electromagnetic shielding film has drawn much attention due to its wide applications in the integrated circuit package, which demands a high surface quality of epoxy resin. However, gaseous Cu will splash and adhere to epoxy resin surface when the Cu layer in PCB receives enough energy in the process of laser cutting, which has a negative effect on the quality of the shielding film. Laser polishing technology can solve this problem and it can effectively improve the quality of epoxy resin surface. The paper studies the mechanism of Cu powder spraying on the compound surface by 355 nm ultraviolet (UV) laser, including the parameters of laser polishing process and the remains of Cu content on compound surface. The results show that minimal Cu content can be realized with a scanning speed of 700 mm/s, a laser frequency of 50 kHz and the distance between laser focus and product top surface of -1.3 mm. This result is important to obtain an epoxy resin surface with high quality.

Site-selective assembly of quantum dots on patterned self-assembled monolayers fabricated by laser direct-writing

A simple and efficient route for quantum dot (QDs) patterning using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as templates is described. By means of a laser direct-writing (LDW) technique, SAMs of octadecylphosphonic acid formed by adsorption on native oxide layer of titanium film were patterned through laser-induced ablation of the SAM molecules. This technique allows the creation of chemical-specific patterns accompanied by slight change in the topography. Using atomic force microscopy and friction force microscopy, the dependence of feature size and characteristics on the irradiation dose was demonstrated. Upon immersion of a substrate with patterned SAMs bearing thiol as the terminal group into a dispersion of QDs resulted in the assembly of QDs on the specific thiol-terminated areas. Patterns of QDs with different photoluminescent wavelength were generated. The LDW technique, which is convenient and flexible due to its path-directed and maskless fabrication process, provided a new powerful approach for patterning materials on surfaces for various applications.

Efficiency enhancement of graphene/silicon-pillar-array solar cells by HNO3 and PEDOT-PSS

A single-layer graphene film was grown on copper foil by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto a silicon-pillar-array (SPA) substrate to make a Schottky junction solar cell. The SPA substrate was specifically designed to suppress reflectance and enhance light absorption. The energy conversion efficiency of the prepared graphene/SPA solar cells achieved a maximum of 2.90% with a junction area of 0.09 cm(2). HNO(3) was employed to dope the graphene in the solar cells, and the time dependence of HNO(3) treatment on the cell performance was studied. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonic acid (PEDOT-PSS) was also introduced in graphene/SPA solar cells by spin coating on top of the graphene film, and its modification on the cell performance was characterized. The results show that both HNO(3) and the PEDOT-PSS film could enhance the energy conversion efficiency of graphene/SPA solar cells.     

Influence of Substrate Temperature on Structural Properties and Deposition Rate of AlN Thin Film Deposited by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films with c-axis preferred orientation have been prepared by reactive direct-current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The degree of preferred crystal orientation, the cross-sectional structure, and the surface morphology of AlN thin films grown on Si (100) substrates at various substrate temperatures from 60°C to 520°C have been investigated by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Results show that the substrate temperature has a significant effect on the structural properties, such as the degree of c-axis preferred orientation, the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the rocking curve, the surface morphology, and the cross-sectional structure as well as the deposition rate of the AlN thin films. The optimal substrate temperature is 430°C, with corresponding root-mean-square surface roughness (R _rms) of 1.97?nm, FWHM of AlN (002) diffraction of 2.259°, and deposition rate of 20.86?nm/min. The mechanisms behind these phenomena are discussed. Finally, film bulk acoustic resonators based on AlN films were fabricated; the corresponding typical electromechanical coupling coefficient (k _t ² ) is 5.1% with series and parallel frequencies of 2.37?GHz and 2.42?GHz, respectively.
