Review the potential of self-assembled multilayer gate dielectric films fabricated from silane precursors for organic, inorganic, and transparent TFT and for TFT circuitry and OLED displays.

Hydrogen is one of the most important resources in providing food, fuel, and chemical products for our everyday life. Sustainable catalytic hydrogen production from bioethanol has gained significant attention in recent years due to globally diminishing fossil fuel supplies, which have necessitated the search for new chemical feedstocks.

Among various ceramics, one-dimensional (1-D) piezoelectric ceramics have attracted significant scientific attention for use in energy harvesting.
