Researchers in China developed a melamine foam (MF) /MXene/Ecoflex@TiO2-TENG (FME@TiO2-TENG) based on the composite dielectric MF/MXene/Ecoflex@TiO2 (FME@TiO2) after comprehensively considering charge generation, transport, trapping, and dissipation. Evenly dispersed MXene exhibited strong electronegativity, electrical conductivity, and a formation of many micro-capacitances, which are advantageous for surface charge generation, transfer, and retention in the composite dielectric FME@TiO2. They designed a cathodic protection system to demonstrate its application potential in electrochemistry. The results showed that the FME@TiO2-TENG could be used as an independent power source to provide electrochemical cathodic protection. According to the researchers their work provides guidance for the development of high-performance TENG composite dielectrics and promotes their practical application in the field of the electrochemical cathodic protection… read more.
