3D core-multishell piezoelectric nanogenerators
摘要： The thin film configuration presents obvious practical advantages over the 1D implementation in energy harvesting systems such as easily manufacturing and processing, and long-lasting and stable devices. However, ZnO-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) generally rely on the exploitation of single-crystalline nanowires because of their self-orientation in the c-axis direction and ability to accommodate long deformations resulting in high piezoelectric performance. Herein, we show an innovative approach to produce PENGs by combining polycrystalline ZnO layers fabricated at room temperature by plasma-assisted deposition with supported small-molecule organic nanowires (ONWs) acting as 1D scaffolds. Such hybrid nanostructures present convoluted core-shell morphology, formed by a single-crystalline organic nanowire conformally surrounded by a poly-crystalline ZnO shell and combine the organic core mechanical properties with the ZnO layer piezoelectric response. In a step forward towards the integration of multiple functions within a single wire, we have also developed ONW-Au-ZnO nanoarchitectures including a gold shell acting as inner electrode achieving output piezo-voltages up to 170 mV. The synergistic combination of functionalities in the ONW-Au-ZnO devices promotes an enhanced performance generating piezo-currents one order of magnitude larger than the ONW-ZnO nanowires and superior to the thin film nanogenerators for equivalent and higher thicknesses.

Strategies to Achieve High Performance Piezoelectric Nanogenerators
摘要： Piezoelectric nanogenerators have attracted much attention in the past decade. In this study, the development of piezoelectric nanogenerators and their progress toward high power generation is discussed. The characteristics and application range of numerous types of piezoelectric nanogenerators are also considered. In addition, several strategies that may improve the performance of piezoelectric nanogenerators are summarized. Here, we compare the open circuit voltages and short circuit currents of various piezoelectric nanogenerators under different factors, and the current problems of piezoelectric nanogenerators are also discussed. Finally, the future prospects and directions of piezoelectric nanogenerators are predicted. Future studies should be focused on the production of high-performance materials, the establishment of working principle and simulation model, the integration of nanogenerator, and the design of the energy harvesting circuit. Hence, it is emergency to search for functional materials with high piezoelectricity and further improve the electromechanical properties of existing piezoelectric materials. Moreover, further research is needed to increase the stability and flexibility of composite materials, to develop wearable and embedded flexible functional devices based on the biocompatibility of inorganic nanoparticles, and to supply power for microelectronic systems.

Wearable piezoelectric nanogenerators based on reduced graphene oxide and in situ polarization-enhanced PVDF-TrFE films
摘要： PVDF-TrFE-based wearable nanogenerators were designed and fabricated with enhanced performances via reduced graphene oxides (rGO) and in situ electric polarization. Our laboratory-made polarization system may complete the in situ poling of PVDF-TrFE films in 5 min without heating, which has the advantages of high production efficiency, excellent piezoelectric performances, and favorable uniformity, compared to traditional poling approaches. The addition of rGO into PVDF-TrFE significantly improved the crystallinity of the b-phase PVDF-TrFE and enhanced the formation of hydrogen bonds via interaction of dipoles between rGO and PVDF-TrFE. This further improved the energy-harvesting performances of these piezoelectric nanogenerators with 1.6 times of the open-circuit voltage and 2 times of the power density than that of pure PVDF-TrFE-based devices. The high production efficiency and excellent piezoelectric performances of in situ polarized rGO/PVDF-TrFE make them of great potential for self-powered, wearable/portable devices.

Vertically-aligned lead-free BCTZY nanofibers with enhanced electrical properties for flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators
摘要： Flexible lead-free (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3-0.2 mol%Y nano?bers (BCTZY NFs) were synthesized by electrospinning and their corresponding nanogenerators (NGs) with vertical alignments were fabricated. The low-temperature sintering properties of BCTZY NFs were investigated, to optimize their synthesis path and minimize the thermal energy consumption during the sintering process. The continuity, ?exibility, and stability of the BCTZ-based NFs were improved by adding Y3+. Moreover, the temperature-evolved Raman spectra displayed a high Curie temperature of 280 °C for BCTZY NFs, which was far higher than that of about 90 °C for BCTZ-based ceramic bulks, owing to the discontinuous physical property of NFs. The dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of the vertically aligned BCTZY NFs/PDMS were estimated and compared with those of BCTZ NFs/PDMS composites, to verify the advantages of vertical alignments and the donor doping e?ect of Y3+. Vertically aligned BCTZY NF-based NGs showed an average VOC of 3.0 V and ISC of 85 nA by ?nger tapping, suggesting their potential applications in tiny energy harvesting.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE 13th Annual International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems (NEMS) - Singapore, Singapore (2018.4.22-2018.4.26)] 2018 IEEE 13th Annual International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems (NEMS) - Enhancement in Energy Harvesting Performances of Piezoelectric Nanogenerator by Sandwiching Electrostatic rGO Layer Between PVDF-BTO Layers
摘要： Herein the fabrication and characterizations of self-poled, tri-layer piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) have been investigated. The tri-layer structure was obtained by sandwiching surface modified n-type reduced graphene oxide (n-rGO) layer between poly(vinylidene fluoride)-barium titanate (PVDF-BTO) sheets. The highly charged n-rGO layer facilitates in improving the crystallinity of PVDF by attracting and aligning the dipoles from lower and upper PVDF-BTO sheets without any external electric field. The enhancement in electro-active beta (β) phase of PVDF was also confirmed through X-ray diffraction pattern. For the comparison analysis three different, single layer (PVDF-BTO), bi-layer (n-rGO/PVDF-BTO), and tri-layer (PVDF-BTO/n-rGO/PVDF-BTO) NGs were prepared. Among them, tri-layer NG reveals maximum open circuit voltage of 10 Vpk-pk. Furthermore, it exhibits short circuit current of 2.5 μApk-pk at an applied force of 2N. Finally, the mechanical stability of fabricated NG was also tested under several pressing and releasing cycles. It was estimated that our fabricated PENG can be a promising building block for powering flexible small electronics.
