Piezoelectric Effect Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF): From Energy Harvester to Smart Skin and Electronic Textiles

“…Hu et al [91] developed an energy collection network of piezoelectric materials using Janus nanofibers and showed ultra-high linear sensitivity. Xie et al [92] fabricated a triboelectric nanogenerator by using flexible 2D Janus nanofiber membranes, which has achieved the ability of charge generation and trapping at the microlevel.…”

A Review of Recent Development of Wearable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Aiming at Human Clothing for Energy Conversion

“…From this point of view, electrospinning nanofibers into fabrics is an ideal method for manufacturing wearable devices. Whereas a traditional coat layer reduces the breathability of the fabric [ 24 ], the electrospinning coating has the advantage of both air permeability and flexibility, and furthermore allows the surface of the fabric to be modified so it can achieve the desired function [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ].…”

Micro-patterned BaTiO3@Ecoflex nanocomposite-assisted self-powered and wearable triboelectric nanogenerator with improved charge retention by 2D MoTe2/PVDF nanofibrous layer

“…11,12 Along with this, the utilization of functional substances with nanomaterials is a new technique to improve the power of TENG. 10 Rajagopalan et al introduced a quasi-equilibrium state (made of nylon and aluminium oxide), which helps in better contact electrification processes and exhibits high output performance of fabricated TENG. 13 Moreover, Li et al used BaTiO 3 /polyimide nanocomposite to enhance the output performance of TENG.…”

“…[21][22][23] Moreover, the introduction of functional substances into the nanocomposite helps in surface modification and increases the surface potential, directly enhancing the triboelectric charges. 10 Additionally, the large phase interaction between inorganic additives and polymer chains inside the nanocomposite improves the trapping ability of materials and prevents charge recombination. [24][25][26] 2D materials, especially transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have excellent physical and structural properties, such as high in-plane conductivity, strong spin-orbit coupling, large magneto-resistance, large surface area, thermal stability, porosity etc.…”
