Description
Summary:We have shown the enhanced piezoelectricity by electrostatic effects on a textile based platform. The electrostatic and piezoelectric effects were hybridized by integrating piezoelectric ZnO nanowires and a charged dielectric film on a wearable textile substrate. The hybrid textile nanogenerator produced an output voltage of 8 V and an output current of 2.5 μA. Using a simple AC-DC converter circuit, we operated the green organic light-emitting diode and a liquid crystal display panel using a 100 dB sonic wave. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
