All-Solution-Processed Flexible Thin Film Piezoelectric Nanogenerator

Abstract

An all-solution-processed flexible thin film piezoelectric nanogenerator is demon strated using reactive zinc hydroxo-condensation and a screen-printing method. The highly elastic thin film allows the piezoelectric energy to be generated through the mechanical rolling and muscle stretching of the piezoelectric unit. This flexible all solution-processed nanogenerator is promising for use in future energy harvesters such as wearable human patches and mobile electronics.
