Abstract:Piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are among the emerging technologies as energy harvesters, aided by their cost-effective device architecture and ease of fabrication. The present study investigates the influence of electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) blended with second-generation aromatic hyperbranched polyester (Ar.HBP-G2) of varied content (0 to 40 wt % relative to PVDF content) on the electrical characteristics of PENG/TENG devices. The optimized PVDF/ Ar.… Show more
