Microfibre–nanowire hybrid structure for energy scavenging

Yong Qin1, Xudong Wang1 & Zhong Lin Wang1

Basic Concept

• Use vibrations and friction between two fibers to create an electric current.

• Textile fibers are dense and have the potential of accumulating a lot of energy.

Structure

• Fibers are coated in a Zinc Oxide growth.

Energy Generation using Piezo Film

R H Brown, Atochem Sensors Ltd, 1991

Basic Equations

• Charge Density:D = Q/A = d3nXn

• Open Circuit VoltageV0 = g3nXnt

Energy Expectations

• Maximum Charge Density:– 7mC/m2

• Maximum Energy Expected:– 200 kJ/m3

Potential Implementations

• How can we incorporate these devices into our networks?

• Can they be more than good sensors?

Design Considerations

• What do you do when your not scavenging energy?

• How do you retain your energy?• How would you control different

energy modalities?
