A One-Structure-Based Hybridized Nanogenerator for Scavenging Mechanical and Thermal Energies by Triboelectric-Piezoelectric-Pyroelectric Effects

A hybridized nanogenerator is demonstrated, which has the structure of PVDF nanowires–PDMS composite film/indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode/polarized PVDF film/ITO electrode, and which can individually/simultaneously scavenge mechanical and thermal energies using piezoelectric, triboelectric, and pyr...

Summary:A hybridized nanogenerator is demonstrated, which has the structure of PVDF nanowires–PDMS composite film/indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode/polarized PVDF film/ITO electrode, and which can individually/simultaneously scavenge mechanical and thermal energies using piezoelectric, triboelectric, and pyroelectric effects. As compared with the individual energy harvesting unit, the hybridized nanogenerator has a much better charging performance. This work may push forward a significant step toward multienergy harvesting technology.
