“…In addition, ZnO has high exciton binding energy because of the low effective mass of its electrons and a longer exciton lifetime, resulting in high semiconductor performance. 82 It has a wide range of nanostructures that can be synthesized via multiple processes and substrates. 83 The nanostructures of ZnO can rapidly transport electrons, decreasing the likelihood of EHP recombination.…”

Nuclear energy is considered a suitable and eco-friendly alternative for combating the rising greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from excessive fossil fuel consumption. Betavoltaic battery is a form of nuclear technology that utilizes the decay energy of β-emitting radioisotopes to produce electrical power. Owing to its long shelf life, high specific energy density, and ability to work under extreme conditions, it has been a subject of considerable research attention in the past few years. Despite significant research on betavoltaic battery, several impediments to realizing high energy conversion efficiency and maximum power density have yet to be overcome. This Review Article comprehensively discusses the challenges and recent research progress of betavoltaic battery development. First, promising strategies for improving betavoltaic battery performance, theoretical principles, and equations for quantifying betavoltaic battery efficiency are discussed. Then a thorough overview of several β-radiation absorbing materials, such as traditional semiconductors, metal oxides, and organic/inorganic materials, is explored. Finally, the outlook for betavoltaic battery is discussed before concluding the review.

In situ monitoring of pavement health has been getting much attention due to the efficiency, reliability and accuracy of data. This review consists of various embedded as well as nondestructive sensing options that have been used to perform analysis on pavement health either by simply calculating horizontal and vertical strains under pavement layers or by crack detection models inside pavement structures by supplementing information from moisture, temperature and traffic related sensors. With optimum integration of such combination sensors, engineers can predict the optimum rehabilitation time of the pavements and reduce a huge amount of budget spent on infrastructure reconstruction.

“…Even though piezoelectric ceramics perform the same fundamental function, different ceramic materials are employed in accelerometers based on the application's needs. Special ceramics for high-temperature operations, such as those encountered in turbine engine operation, have recently been discovered [2]. Ceramic-based sensing components find use in vibration measurement and low-cost automotive accelerometers, where low signal levels and extensive wire runs are the normal aerospace applications operating at high temperatures (900 ˚F).…”
