Electrochromic devices (ECDs) that display multicolor patterns have gradually attracted widespread attention. Considering the complexity in the integration of various electrochromic materials and multi-electrode configurations, the design of multicolor patterned ECDs based on simple approaches is still a big challenge. Herein, it is demonstrated vivid ECDs with broadened color hues via introducing carbon dots (CDs) into the ion electrolyte layer. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of electrodes and electrolytes, the resultant ECDs presented a rich color change. Significantly, the fabricated ECDs can still maintain a stable and reversible color change even in high temperature environments where operating temperatures are constantly changing from RT to 70°C. These findings represent a novel strategy for fabricating multicolor electrochromic displays and are expected to advance the development of intelligent and portable electronics.
This paper proposes a wireless passive vibration sensor based on high-temperature ceramics for vibration measurement in harsh environments such as automotive and advanced engines. The sensor can be equivalent to an acceleration-sensitive RF LC resonance tank. The structural design of the LC tank and the signal wireless sensing mechanism are introduced in detail. The high-temperature mechanical properties of the sensitive structure are analyzed using ANSYS at 25–400°C, which proves the usability of the vibration sensor in high-temperature environment. The three-dimensional integrated manufacturing of vibration sensors with a beam-mass structure based on high-temperature ceramics is completed by a bonding process. Finally, the performance of the sensor is tested on a built experimental platform, and the results show that the vibration sensitivity is approximately 1.303 mv/m·s-2, and the nonlinear error is approximately 4.3%. The vibration sensor can work normally within 250°C, and the sensitivity is 0.989 mv/m·s-2.
This study proposes a split-type pressure sensor based on differential capacitance that can be applied to in-situ accurate pressure testing in high-temperature environments. The sensor is mainly composed of a high-temperature resistant chip and a high-temperature resistant encapsulation structure. The chip is made of a ceramic substrate and presents a differential capacitance structure that can withstand high temperatures and effectively restrain the temperature drift. The encapsulation presents a split-type structure, in which the chip and the test circuit board are placed at the front and back ends of the sensor, respectively. Therefore, the front end of the sensor can work in the high-temperature area for in-situ testing, while the back-end temperature remains below 60℃ all the time, which ensures normal operation of the circuit board. Finally, the test results show that the pressure sensor's temperature drift coefficient is only 6.6% within the temperature range of 25°C-400℃. The sensor's sensitivity can reach 9.27 mV/kPa and the maximum repeatability error is less than 2.2% at 400℃, which shows that the proposed sensor has a higher working temperature and higher precision than the existing pressure sensors.
