Abstract This article provides a comprehensive overview of piezo‐ and ferro‐electric materials based on organic molecules organic–inorganic hybrids for mechanical energy harvesting. Molecular (organic hybrid) ferroelectric exhibit significant advantages over traditional due to their simple solution‐phase synthesis, light‐weight nature, thermal stability, flexibility, high Curie temperature, attractive properties. However, the design understanding ferroelectricity in hybrid piezoelectric...

Artificial biomimetic chloride anionophores have shown promising applications as anticancer scaffolds. Importantly, stimuli-responsive transporters that can be selectively activated inside the cancer cells to avoid undesired toxicity normal, healthy are very rare. Particularly, light-responsive systems promise better applicability for photodynamic therapy because of their spatiotemporal controllability, low toxicity, and high tunability. Here, in this work, we report o-nitrobenzyl-linked,...

We report here enhanced vibration and pressure sensing properties of nanocellulose reinforced flexible composite piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs). Surface fluorinated crystals (FNC) were incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) electrospun nanofibers. Incorporation only 2 wt % FNC in PVDF resulted a significant enhancement sensitivity with very low detectable limit 10 Pa up to 18 mV/kPa. The PENGs also demonstrated high for forced continuous vibrations. 2FNC/PVDF composites an...
