Abstract

Piezoelectric nanogenerators (PNGs) have been studied as renewable energy sources. PNGs consisting of organic piezoelectric materials such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) containing oxide complex powder have attracted much attention for their stretchable and high-performance energy conversion. In this study, we prepared a PNG combined with PVDF and lanthanum-modified bismuth titanate (Bi4−XLaXTi3O12, BLT) ceramics as representative ferroelectric materials. The inserted BLT powder was treated by high-speed ball milling and its particle size reduced to the nanoscale. We also investigated the effect of particle size on the energy-harvesting performance of PNG without polling. As a result, nano-sized powder has a much larger surface area than micro-sized powder and is uniformly distributed inside the PNG. Moreover, nano-sized powder-mixed PNG generated higher power energy (> 4 times) than the PNG inserted micro-sized powder. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
