4. Energy Efficiency Reflective aluminum coatings help in reducing heat absorption, keeping buildings cooler and minimizing the need for air conditioning. This energy efficiency can lead to significant cost savings.
With industrialization and the advent of new materials, tin candle plates saw a decline in popularity as mass-produced alternatives swarmed the market. However, in recent years, a growing trend towards sustainability and a desire for artisanal products have spurred a revival of tin candle plate factories. Modern consumers are increasingly drawn to the idea of supporting local artisans who produce handcrafted goods with an emphasis on quality and sustainability. This shift has opened a new chapter for tin candle plate factories, which are often small businesses or family-run operations.
Apart from proximately neuromorphic technologies, TiO2-based memristors have also found application in various sensors. The principle of memristive sensorics is based on the dependency of the resistive switching on various external stimuli. This includes recording of mechanical energy (Vilmi et al., 2016), hydrogen detection (Hossein-Babaei and Rahbarpour, 2011; Strungaru et al., 2015; Haidry et al., 2017; Vidiš et al., 2019), γ-ray sensing (Abunahla et al., 2016), and various fluidic-based sensors, such as sensors for pH (Hadis et al., 2015a) and glucose concentration (Hadis et al., 2015b). In addition, TiO2 thin films may generate photoinduced electron–hole pairs, which give rise to UV radiation sensors (Hossein-Babaei et al., 2012). Recently, the biosensing properties of TiO2-based memristors have been demonstrated in the detection of the bovine serum albumin protein molecule (Sahu and Jammalamadaka, 2019). Furthermore, this work has also demonstrated that the introduction of an additional graphene oxide layer may effectively prevent the growth of multidimensional and random conductive paths, resulting in a lower switching voltage, better endurance, and a higher resistance switching ratio. This opens up a new horizon for further functional convergence of metal oxides and two-dimensional memristive materials and interfaces (Zhang et al., 2019a).
