Abstract

carbon nanotubes piezoelectric generators zinc oxide
A novel approach for a piezoelectric generator is presented. By coating ZnO on carbon nanotubes, the piezoelectric properties of ZnO are integrated with the structure flexibility and enhanced conductivity of carbon nanotubes. With suitable arrangement, the devices generate high voltage and current signals. Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
