TL;DR: It is shown that spreading of an impinged water droplet on the device bridges the originally disconnected components into a closed-loop electrical system, transforming the conventional interfacial effect into a bulk effect, and so enhancing the instantaneous power density by several orders of magnitude over equivalent devices that are limited by interfacial effects.

TL;DR: Assessment of the performance of a variety of exchange–correlation functionals and various basis sets in describing the noncovalent interactions in MH provides useful guidance for choosing appropriate methodology of first‐principles simulation of MH and related systems.

TL;DR: The design of a novel slippery lubricant-impregnated porous surface (SLIPS) based TENG, referred to as SLIPS-TENG, which exhibits many distinctive advantages over conventional design including optical transparency, configurability, self-cleaning, flexibility, and power generation stability, in a wide range of working environments.

TL;DR: Using first-principle calculations at B97-D/6-311++G(2d,2p) level, this work systematically explores the gas capacity of five standard water cavities in clathrate hydrate and study the inclusion complexes to infer general trends in vibrational frequencies of guest molecules as a function of cage size and number ofGuest molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, first-principles methods were used to estimate the elastic constants of three common hydrates structures sI, sII, and sH using the Debye model and quasi-harmonic approximation.
