FABRICATION SENSORS BASED ON NANOCOMPOSITES ZnO/PVDF

Abstract

This paper focused on generated output voltage by converting the mechanical energy to electrical response piezoelectric output voltage by tapping the finger of the hand on flexible nanogenerators fabrication of nanocomposites fibers (zinc oxide/polyvinylidene fluoride) ZnO/PVDF. Since, zinc oxide nanostructured materials have unique properties as their nanostructures, semiconducting, and piezoelectric which synthesize practically simply by a hydrothermal process at low temperatures. The structure and morphology of reactant materials, and, the fabricated nanofibers of the nanocomposites are characterized by XRD and SEM. The output is measured by an oscilloscope. The maximum output piezoelectric voltage for 18%ZnO–16%PVDF was 1.600 V. Therefore, the generators can be used as sensors in medical applications and other fields.
