Abstract:
Piezocomposites composed of piezoelectric inorganic particles dispersed in a flexible polymer have emerged as promising materials for flexible energy harvesters and sensors. In this work, to overcome the inefficient stress transfer capability in flexible piezocomposites for energy harvester, KNbO3 (KN) particles prepared by conventional solid oxide process were aligned to form chain-distributed particles in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix by dielectrophoresis. The composite with 8 vol.-% KN has peak open circuit voltage of 6.3 V and short-circuit current of 0.82 mu A under an applied force of 7 N, which are significantly improved in compared with the sample with piezoelectric particles randomly dispersed. Hugely enhanced stress-transfer capability of the aligned composite plays a key role in achieving large piezoelectric response. This work provides a promising material candidate for high performance flexible energy harvester.
