What Are Piezo-Phototronics?
On August 9, 2023 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Sensors by Liam Critchley
Liam Critchley
Piezo-phototronic materials share many characteristics with piezotronic materials that help modulate charge carriers and electric currents at different semiconducting interfaces, but they also have photoexcitation properties that enable them to enhance a range of optoelectronic devices.

2D Materials in Piezoelectric Nanogenerators (PENGs)
On July 22, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Medical by Liam Critchley
Liam Critchley
The piezoelectric effect is not only a common phenomenon in bulk inorganic materials; it is also observed in select 2D materials. This blog explores how designers can use 2D materials capable of generating a piezoelectric charge in a range of nanogenerators (PENGs) for powering small-scale devices.

The Underlying Chemistry of Piezo Materials
On February 6, 2019 in All, Energy Harvesting, Power, Sensors by Liam Critchley
Liam Critchley
The electrical properties of both piezoelectric and piezoresistive materials change when subjected to mechanical deformation. Here, we show how and why these electrical changes are due to changes within the crystal structure at the atomic level and the chemistry involved with these changes.
