Fabrication of ZnO based Nanogenerator for Sustainable Biomechanical Energy Harvesting

  • Unique Paper ID: 182391
  • PageNo: 1706-1713
  • Abstract:
  • Wearable nanogenerators have gained significant attention due to their capacity for transforming energy from bodily movement and the environment around them into electronic signals. These signals can then be used to power portable or wearable electronic gadgets for purposes such as monitoring, tracking movement, or observing, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of human life. A p-n junction ZnO textile nanogenerator is created on conductive textiles using PEDOT:PSS/CuSCN-coated ZnO nanorods. This combines the benefits of ZnO piezoelectricity with textile flexibility. It has been discovered that as the length of ZnO nanorods is increased, the nanogenerators demonstrate a corresponding increase in output voltage and power density. The device, equipped with ZnO nanorods of optimized length, exhibits a progressive rise in output voltage when the shaking frequency is raised. This increase in voltage is sufficient to power an LCD screen display. Furthermore, the gadget has the capability to produce a progressively higher negative voltage ranging various with the application of an increasing impacting force. The manufactured gadget may also capture other mechanical forces, such as flicking, light finger bending, and tapping. These findings are especially significant for the development of upcoming adaptable self-sustaining gadgets and portable electronics.
