Cactus‐Inspired Tip Interfaces Coupling Transient Thermorheology and Local Polarization Amplification for Efficient Pyroelectricity Energy Harvesting (Adv. Funct. Mater. 58/2026)
Abstract
Transient Thermorheology The cover illustrates a cactus-inspired pyroelectric nanogenerator featuring a 3D graphene/carbon nanotube conical electrode array. The biomimetic tip interfaces synergistically enhance solar-driven photothermal conversion, airflow-induced convective cooling, and localized electric-field amplification, thereby accelerating polarization dynamics and transient thermal responses for efficient harvesting of ubiquitous low-grade solar and wind energy in wearable self-powered electronics. More details can be found in the Research Article by Han Wu, Zhuangzhi Sun, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adfm.76126).
