Journal ArticleDOI
Highly efficient electrocaloric cooling with electrostatic actuation
TL;DR: A cooling device with a high intrinsic thermodynamic efficiency using a flexible electrocaloric polymer film and an electrostatic actuation mechanism is developed, which is more efficient and compact than existing surface-conformable solid-state cooling technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silver Nanowire-Bacterial Cellulose Composite Fiber-Based Sensor for Highly Sensitive Detection of Pressure and Proximity.
Fangyi Guan,Fangyi Guan,Yu Xie,Hanxiang Wu,Yuan Meng,Ye Shi,Meng Gao,Ziyang Zhang,Shiyan Chen,Ye Chen,Huaping Wang,Qibing Pei +11 more
TL;DR: A hierarchically porous silver nanowire-bacterial cellulose fiber is reported that can be utilized for sensitive detection of both pressure and proximity of human fingers and can be easily stitched into garments as comfortable and fashionable sensors to detect heartbeat and vocal pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A high-performance solid-state electrocaloric cooling system.
Yunda Wang,Ziyang Zhang,T. Usui,Benedict Michael,Sakyo Hirose,Joseph Lee,Jamie Kalb,David Eric Schwartz +7 more
TL;DR: Two designs for electrocaloric cooling suggest that it may be competitive with vapor compression cooling, an emerging technology that has broad potential to disrupt conventional air conditioning and refrigeration as well as electronics cooling applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cascade electrocaloric cooling device for large temperature lift
TL;DR: Meng et al. as mentioned in this paper demonstrate a cascade EC cooling device that increases the temperature change, with enhanced cooling power and cooling efficiency at the same time, integrating multiple units of EC polymer elements and an electrostatic actuation mechanism, all operating in synergy.
