Abstract

An all-fiber pyroelectric nanogenerator (PyNG) is fabricated where both the active pyroelectric component and the electrodes were composed of fiber. The pyroelectric component was made with randomly organized electrospun PVDF nano-fibers possessing ferroelectric β- and γ-phases. The PyNG possess higher level of sensitivity which can detect very low level of temperature fluctuation, as, low as, 2 K. In addition, the thermal energy harvesting ability of the PyNG under several temperature variations and cycling frequencies paves the way for next generation thermal sensor and self-powered flexible micro-electronics.
