The oblique angle configuration has emerged as an invaluable tool for the deposition of
nanostructured thin films. This review develops an up to date description of its principles …

Low-dimensional piezoelectric semiconductor nanomaterials, such as ZnO and GaN, have
superior mechanical properties and can be integrated into flexible devices that can be …

Bone injuries are common in clinical practice. Given the clear disadvantages of autologous
bone grafting, more efficient and safer bone grafts need to be developed. Bone is a …

The fundamental principle of piezotronics and piezophototronics was introduced by our
group in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Due to the polarization of ions in a crystal that has …

Self‐powered photodetectors have paved the way for electronic applications in fields such
as civilian communication, infrared mapping, and industrial automatic control. However …

In contrast to graphene, a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayer is piezoelectric
because it is non-centrosymmetric. However, h-BN shows neither in-plane nor out-of-plane …

Self-powered nanodevices are highly desirable for green energy technology, internet of
things, wearable devices, sensors, and implanted biomedical devices. In this aspect …

We demonstrated the energy harvesting potential and piezotronic effect in vertically aligned
CdSe nanowire (NW) arrays for the first time. The CdSe NW arrays were grown on a mica …

In this review, we systematically analyze the enhanced performances of Schottky-structured
nanowire sensors by the piezotronic effect. Compared with traditional Ohmic-contact …

Ambient energy harvesting using piezoelectric nanomaterials is today considered as a
promising way to supply microelectronic devices. Since the first demonstration of electrical …
