A Packaged Self-Powered System with Universal Connectors Based on Hybridized Nanogenerators.

Self-powered textile for wearable electronics by hybridizing fiber-shaped nanogenerators, solar cells, and supercapacitors

Wearable electronics fabricated on lightweight and flexible substrate are believed to have great potential for portable devices, but their applications are limited by the life span of their batteries. We propose a hybridized self-charging power textile system with the aim of simultaneously collecting outdoor sunshine and random body motion energies and then storing them in an energy storage uni...

Transparent flexible nanogenerator as self-powered sensor for transportation monitoring

nt matter & 2012 0.1016/j.nanoen.2 thor at: School of Institute of Tech . [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we fabricated transparent flexible nanogenerators (NGs) by employing flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate for the growth of ZnO nanowires. The fully packaged NG showed good transparency with a transmittance of 50–60% in the visible range. The output voltage and current was...

On Maxwell’s displacement current for energy and sensors: the origin of nanogenerators

Self-powered system is a system that can sustainably operate without an external power supply for sensing, detection, data processing and data transmission. Nanogenerators were first developed for selfpowered systems based on piezoelectric effect and triboelectrification effect for converting tiny mechanical energy into electricity, which have applications in internet of things, environmental/ ...

Nanogenerators for Self-Powered Gas Sensing

Looking toward world technology trends over the next few decades, self-powered sensing networks are a key field of technological and economic driver for global industries. Since 2006, ZhongLinWang’s group has proposed a novel concept of nanogenerators (NGs), including piezoelectric nanogenerator and triboelectric nanogenerator, which could convert a mechanical trigger into an electric output. C...
