Abstract

Background: This work has developed a novel piezo-tribo-electric nanogenerator (P-TENG) that is capable of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy when operating in compressive mode.

Methods: An arch-shaped P-TENG device was formed using an optimal piezoelectric polymer composite, which was fabricated using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix that was modified with piezoelectric (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15) (Ti_0.90Zr_0.10)O₃ (BCZT) ceramic particles and electrically conductive multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs). A high filler loading of BCZT (40, 50, 60 wt%) and 3 wt% of MCNTs was formed into a 0–3 connectivity composite.

Results: The P-TENG device containing 50 wt% BCZT exhibited the highest electrical output (V_OC ∼ 39.7 V, I_SC ∼ 1.9 µA, and maximum power ∼ 157.7 µW), compared to the other composites, when subjected to an alternating compressive load of 500 N at a 1 Hz frequency.

Conclusions: This research provides new composite formulations for elastomeric-based energy generators that are responsive to low frequency mechanical oscillations.
