Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

35.6K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Thermoregulation01:26

Thermoregulation

3.4K
The human body has a sophisticated thermoregulation system that employs negative feedback mechanisms to maintain an optimal core temperature. When the core temperature drops, peripheral and central thermoreceptors send signals to the hypothalamus, activating the heat-promoting center. This center triggers several responses aimed at increasing the core temperature. First, vasoconstriction reduces the flow of warm blood from internal organs to the skin so that the heat is not lost from the skin,...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Energy

Background:

  • Mid-infrared electrochromism is key for managing radiative heat transfer in buildings, industry, and personal devices.
  • Current devices on planar substrates limit applications on 3D or curved surfaces due to air gaps and reduced efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an all-solution-processed fabrication method for mid-infrared electrochromic devices on arbitrary 3D surfaces.
  • To enable objects to become electrically tunable thermal emitters with full surface conformity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) for electrochromic and charge-storage layers.
  • Employed a heterogeneous mixed ionic-electronic conductor (HNO3-doped carbon nanotubes and hydrogel) for layer separation.
  • Developed a layer-by-layer configuration for complete surface conformity and electrochemical stability.

Main Results:

  • Achieved an emissivity tunability of 0.195 in the mid-infrared spectrum.
  • Demonstrated apparent temperature modulation of 6.1 °C on planar and 2.3 °C on curved surfaces.
  • Fabricated conformable electrochromic devices directly on 3D objects.

Conclusions:

  • Established a generalizable strategy for outward-facing electrochromic devices on complex geometries.
  • Opened new avenues for advanced light and heat management technologies using tunable thermal emitters.
  • Overcame limitations of planar devices for applications requiring conformal coverage on 3D structures.
