A novel ZnPc nanorod derived piezoelectric nanogenerator for energy harvesting

Piezoelectric nanogenerators for personalized healthcare

“…As elaborated above, great progress has been made in both material design and structural design for piezoelectric materials. Recently, the piezoelectric properties of many new materials have also been discovered, including for materials: MXene, 401 ZnPc, 402 black phosphorus, 403 selenium nanowires, 255 tellurium nanowires, 404 monolayer hexagonal boron nitride, 405 single-component organic ferroelectric 406 etc. On this basis, the electrical and mechanical performance of the PENG has been further improved and expanded to fulfill more unconventional requirements, showing a promising application prospect in wearable bioelectronics, though several challenges that limit their further development must still be addressed.…”

Piezoelectric nanogenerators for self‐powered wearable and implantable bioelectronic devices

“…On contrary, the presence of disordered structures, like surface roughness and grain boundaries reduce their overall efficiency. Therefore, it is important to carefully control the orientation of nanostructures and minimize structural irregularities in order to optimize the piezoelectric performance of PENGs [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] .…”

Optical Dynamics at the Au/ZnPc Interfaces

“…For such system an open circuit voltage of 0.524 mV for ZnPc rods of lengths of 100 nm is achieved. This open circuit voltage reaches 0.968 mV when the length of the rod is increased to 300 nm 6 .…”

“…Literature data mentioned the novelty of ZnPc for use in the technology of nanogenerator 6,7 which are well known for their high energy conversion efficiency 7 . Recently, Zinc phthalocyanine nanorods which are grown onto flexible aluminum foil (Al) are nominated for use in the nanogenerators technology.…”
