Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a wide range of recent research of advanced electronic devices for biomedical applications; not only development of wearable electronic devices and implantable biomedical devices, but also an energy solution of wearable and implantable electronic devices.

Bioresorbable materials are particulary interesting for implantable electrostimulation platforms for temporal medical treatment, which can bypass a post-retrieval surgery. For example, the study of nurve/wound electrostimulation can accelerate recovery of wounded region, which are beneficial for the society. The proper closed-loop systems can realize highly advanced biomedical applications, which can facilitate telemedicine to improve the patient wellness.

Batteries are one of the most promising energy sources for wearable/implantable systems. Energy harvesting devices are also another candidate to recharge/operate the electronic wearable/implantable devices, which can extend lifetime of biomedical devices. Wireless energy transfer system may the other opportunity to develop advanced biomedical applications.

In recent years, many parts of the world have researched the transition to renewable energy, reducing energy consumption and moving away from fossil fuels. Among the studies to reduce energy consumption, passive radiative cooling can reduce the energy used for building cooling, and to improve this, the optical properties of atmospheric window emissivity and solar reflectance must be increased. In this study, hollow yttrium oxide (H-Y2O3) was fabricated using melamine formaldehyde (MF) as a sacrificial template to improve the optical properties of passive radiative cooling. We then used finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations to predict the optical properties of the fabricated particles. This study compares the properties of MF@Y(OH)CO3 and H-Y2O3 particles derived from the same process. H-Y2O3 was found to have a solar reflectance of 70.73% and an atmospheric window emissivity of 86.24%, and the field tests revealed that the temperature of MF@Y(OH)CO3 was relatively low during the daytime. At night, the temperature of the H-Y2O3 film was found to be 2.6 °C lower than the ambient temperature of 28.8 °C. The optical properties and actual cooling capabilities of the particles at each stage of manufacturing the hollow particles were confirmed and the cooling capabilities were quantified. Full article
