A novel approach for a piezoelectric generator is presented. By coating ZnO on carbon nanotubes, the piezoelectric properties of ZnO are integrated with the structure flexibility and enhanced conductivity of carbon nanotubes. With suitable arrangement, the devices generate high voltage and current signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
