Abstract Non-uniform strains produce a localized break in the microscopic inverse symmetry of materials, which
leads to the electromechanical coupling phenomenon known as flexoelectricity in all dielectric materials.
However, the size-dependent flexoelectric effect typically only manifests at small scales. Creating a
considerable flexoelectric output at the macroscopic scale remains a bottleneck. Micro- and nano-porous
materials own a significant number of randomly distributed microscopic pores and ligamentous structures,
which can deform non-uniformly under arbitrary forms of macroscopic loading. Moreover, since the small
size effect of flexoelectricity, the entire flexoelectricity of the micro- and nano-porous materials will be… More >
