ABSTRACT

Halide perovskite, renowned for its multifunctional properties, shows considerable promise for realizing self-charging power systems. In this study, a lead-free methylammonium bismuth iodide (MA3Bi2I9) perovskite is used to create a self-charging power unit (SPU). This involves constructing a hybrid piezoelectric-triboelectric nanogenerator (Hybrid-TENG) and utilizing MA3Bi2I9 for energy storage as an anode in a lithium-ion battery (LIB). Initially, MA3Bi2I9 nanorods are synthesized and composited with a polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene polymer. The dielectric and mechanical properties of composite films having perovskite loading content are investigated. The optimized Hybrid-TENG exhibits superior performance, generating a voltage of 537 V, current density of 13.2 µA cm- 2, and maximum power density of 3.04 mW cm-2, which can be attributed to the high piezoelectric coefficient of MA3Bi2I9 nanorods (≈20.6 pm V-1). A MA3Bi2I9 thin film, serving as an electrode in LIB, demonstrates a high specific capacity of 2378.9 mAh cm-3 (578.8 mAh g-1) with a capacity retention of ≈87.5% over 100 cycles, underscoring its stable performance. Furthermore, a Hybrid-TENG is employed to charge the MA3Bi2I9-based LIB, thus realizing an SPU for driving portable electronics. This study highlights the promising potential of perovskites for developing efficient nanogenerators and LIBs, paving the way for sustainable energy solutions in small-scale electronics.

ABSTRACT

Bone regeneration remains a critical concern across diverse medical disciplines, because it is a complex process that requires a combinatorial approach involving the integration of mechanical, electrical, and biological stimuli to emulate the native cellular microenvironment. In this context, piezoelectric scaffolds have attracted considerable interest owing to their remarkable ability to generate electric fields in response to dynamic forces. Nonetheless, the application of such scaffolds in bone tissue engineering has been limited by the lack of a scaffold that can simultaneously provide both the intricate electromechanical environment and the biocompatibility of the native bone tissue. Here, we present a pioneering biomimetic scaffold that combines the unique properties of piezoelectric and topographical enhancement with the inherent osteogenic abilities of hydroxyapatite (HAp). Notably, the novelty of this work lies in the incorporation of HAp into polyvinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoro ethylene in a freestanding form, leveraging its natural osteogenic potential within a piezoelectric framework. Through comprehensive in vitro and in vivo investigations, we demonstrate the remarkable potential of these scaffolds to accelerate bone regeneration. Moreover, we demonstrate and propose three pivotal mechanisms─(i) electrical, (ii) topographical, and (iii) paracrine─that collectively contribute to the facilitated bone healing process. Our findings present a synergistically derived biomimetic scaffold design with wide-ranging prospects for bone regeneration as well as various regenerative medicine applications.
