“…The selection of the paper substrates depends upon the smoothness and softness of the stuff to convert mechanical to electrical energy. In 15 ZnO nanorods are grown at low temperatures: aqueous chemical growth on paper using AFM. The paper substrate is deposited with a thin layer of Ag on the bottom for electric contact.…”

“…Flexible materials, such as cloth, rubber, metal foils, and paper, aid in energy conversion more than hard substrates. Modeling and simulation optimise the design for developing the device [14] and [15]. In particular, zinc oxide is preferred for its direct wide band gap (3.33eV).…”
Nano devices are used for energy generation, storing, and harvesting. Among other metal oxides, ZnO shows high performance in piezoelectric energy generation. In this work, the analysis of the parameter dependency of the amount of energy generated for a piezoelectric material on a paper flexible substrate is done. The load is applied in the shape of lines and alphabets. It is found that the displacement is directly proportional to the generated energy. The role of surface area in producing energy and the distribution of pressure with respect to material strength are added.
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.
