Abstract

Recently, flexible energy generators with good performance have trigged enormous interest because of their great potential application in developing full flexible self-powered electronics. Herein, we reported a flexible high-performance piezoelectric nanogenerator (PNG) based on composition-gradient multilayered poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposites wherein a novel three-dimensional (3D) carbon-based nanoparticle was employed as the nanofiller. Making use of this novel 3D nanofiller and composition-gradient concept, one can efficiently promote the interfacial coupling effect and induce internal strain inside the PVDF matrix, contributing to dramatically improved piezoelectricity and consequently output performance for PNG. With the excellent output ability, the PNG also demonstrated to be capable of operating in both d33 and d31 modes and possesses high stability as well as durability, confirming its applicability as green power source for full flexible electronic systems.
