title: A Free-Standing Molecular Spin-Charge Converter for Ubiquitous Magnetic-Energy Harvesting and Sensing.
abstract: Magnetic-energy harvesting in a centimeter-sized free-standing (BEDT-TTF)C60charge-transfer single crystal is demonstrated. The crystal shows sensitive magnetic-, thermal-, and mechanical-sensing ability, with an excellent piezoresistance coefficient of -5.1 × 10-6Pa-1. The self-powered sensing performance, together with its solution processability and flexibility, endow it with the capability of driving a new generation of noncontact magnetic-energy harvesting and sensing technologies.
