    INTRODUCTION:

    Nanogenerator is a technology that converts mechanical/thermal energy as

    produced by small-scale physical change into electricity. Nanogenerator has three

    typical approaches: piezoelectric, triboelectric, and pyroelectric nanogenerators.

    Both the piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators can convert the mechanical

    energy into electricity. However, the pyroelectric nanogenertors can be used to

    harvest thermal energy from a time-dependent temperature fluctuation.

    Nanoscale devices that harvest mechanical energy from the environment

    using an array of tiny nanowires are called nano generators. A nanowire is a

    nanostructure, with the diameter of the order of a nanometer (109 meters).

    Alternatively, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or

    diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length.

    A silicon nano generator is an energy harvesting device converting

    the external kinetic energy into an electrical energy based on the energy conversion

    by nano-structured piezoelectric material.

    WHAT IS PEIZO ELECTRICITY?

    The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure.

    Piezoelectricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials in

    response to applied mechanical strain. Piezoelectricity is the direct result of the

    piezoelectric effect, which is understood as the linear electromechanical interaction

    between the mechanical and the electrical state in crystalline materials. The

    internal generation of electrical charge resulting from an applied mechanical force

    is called as piezoelectric effect piezoelectric effect is due to the occurrence of

    electric dipole moments in solids.

    PEIZO-ELECTRIC EFFECT

    Nanogenerators may include any types of energy harvesting devices with

    nano-structure converting the various types of the ambient energy (e.g. solar power

    and thermal energy), it is used in most of times to specifically indicate the kinetic

    energy harvesting devices utilizing nano-scaled piezoelectric material. The

    mechanical energy from compressing a nanogenerator between two fingers, from a

    heart beat, the pounding of a hiker's shoe on a trail, the rustling of a shirt, or the

    vibration of a heavy machine is converted into electrical energy by these

    generators.

    Although nanogenerators will not produce large amounts of electricity

    for conventional purposes, they could be used to power nanoscale and micro scale

    devices -- and even to recharge pacemakers or iPods.. By simplifying design and

    making it more robust and integrating the contributions from many more

    nanowires, we can successfully boost the output of a Nanogenerator enough to

    drive devices such as commercial liquid-crystal displays, light-emitting diodes and

    laser diodes, very small devices which are used in applications of health care,

    environmental monitoring and personal electronics "How to power these devices

    is a critical issue." And the answer is nanogenerators.

    Mechanism:

    The working principle of nanogenerator will be explained for 2 different

    cases: the force exerted perpendicular and parallel to the axis of the nanowire.

    The working principle for the first case is explained by a vertically grown

    nanowire subjected to the laterally moving tip. When a piezoelectric structure is

    subjected to the external force by the moving tip, the deformation occurs

    throughout the structure.

    The piezoelectric effect will create the electrical field inside the

    nanostructure; the stretched part with the positive strain will exhibit the positive

    electrical potential, whereas the compressed part with the negative strain will show

    the negative electrical potential. This is due to the relative displacement of cat ions

    with respect to anions in its crystalline structure. As a result, the tip of the

    nanowire will have an electrical potential distribution on its surface, while the

    bottom of the nanowire is neutralized since it is grounded. The maximum voltage

    generated in the nanowire depends on the permittivity in vacuum the dielectric

    constant radius and length of the nano wires.

    For the second case, a model with a vertically grown nanowire stacked

    between the ohmic contact at its bottom and the schottky contact at its top is

    considered. When the force is applied toward the tip of the nanowire, the uniaxial

    compressive is generated in the nanowire. Due to the piezoelectric effect, the tip of

  • 7/28/2019 nanaogear

    7/24

    nanowire will have a negative piezoelectric potential, increasing the Fermi level at

    the tip. Since the electrons will then flow from the tip to the bottom through the

    external circuit as a result, the positive electrical potential will be generated at the

    tip. The schottky contact will barricade the electrons being transported through the

    interface, therefore maintaining the potential at the tip. As the force is removed, the

    effect diminishes, and the electrons will be flowing back to the top in order to

    neutralize the positive potential at the tip. The second case will generate alternating

    current output signal

    GEOMETRIC CONFIGURATION

    Depending on the configuration of piezoelectric nanostructure, the most of

    the nanogenerator can be categorized into 2 types: VING and LING. Still, there is

    a configuration that does not fall into the above mentioned categories, as stated in

    other type.

    TRIBOELECTRIC NANOGENERATOR

    Triboelectric Nanogenerator is an energy harvesting device that converts the

    external the ambient mechanical energy into electricity based on the nano-scale

    triboelectric effect. It is another mechanical energy harvesting technology besides

    the piezoelectric nanogenerator. This new type of nanogenerator was firstly

    demonstrated in Prof. Zhong Lin Wangs group atGeorgia Institute of Technology.

    Although it is still in the early stage of the development for triboelectric

    nanogenerators, the output voltage has been enhanced to hundreds of volts,[19]and

    it has been proven to be a simple, cost-effective, robust and efficient approach to

    scavenge mechanical energy.

    The typical structure of a triboelectric nanogenerator is the stacking of two

    sheets with electrode layers on the back. The inner surfaces of the two sheets are

    covered with two different materials respectively, which should have large

    difference in their abilities to attract electrons. Also, it is always needed to have an

    intrinsic gap existing between the two sheets at strain free condition.

    Mechanism

    The scheme showing the mechanism of triboelectric nanogenerators

    The working mechanism of the triboelectric nanogenerator can be described

    as the periodic change of the potential difference induced by the cycled separation

    and re-contact of the opposite triboelectric charges on the inner surfaces of the two

    sheets. When a mechanical agitation is applied onto the device to bend or press it,

    the inners surfaces of the two sheets will get into close contact and the charge

    transfer will begin, leaving one side of the surface with positive charges and the

    other with negative charges. This is just the triboelectric effect. When the

    deformation is released, the two surfaces with opposite charges will separate

    automatically, so that these opposite triboelectrc charges will generate an electric

    field in between and thus induce a potential difference across the top and bottom

    electrodes. In order to screen this potential difference, the electrons will be driven

    to flow from one electrode to the other through the external load. The electricity

    generated in this process will continue until the potentials of the two electrodes get

    back to even again. Subsequently, when the two sheets are pressed towards each

    other again, the triboelectric-charge-induced potential difference will begin to

    decrease to zero, so that the transferred charges will flow back through the external

    load, to generate anothercurrentpulse in the opposite direction. When this periodic

    mechanical deformation lasts, the alternating current (AC) signals will be

    continuously generated.

    As for the pair of materials getting in contact and generating triboelectric

    charges, at least one of them need to be an insulator, so that the triboelectric

    charges cannot be conducted away but will remain on the inner surface of the

    sheet. Then, these immobile triboelectric charges can induce AC electricity flow in

    the external load under the periodic distance change.

    APPLICATIONS

    The power generated by triboelectric nanogenrators under mechanical

    agitation can be used in a number of applications where there exists the mechanical

    motion. These applications will include, but not limited to, the following aspects:

    SELF-POWERED SYSTEMS

    One of the most important applications is to use the triboelectric

    nanogenerator as the power source for the independent and maintenance-free

    operation of electronic device and systems. The triboelectric nanogenerator can

    directly power the portable devices all by itself in some case; or the AC current

    pulses produced could be regulated by a rectifier and a storage unit in the first

    place, and then the stored energy will be able to power the regular electronics such

    as LED

    THE POWERING OF PERSONAL ELECTRONICS

    Since there is abundant mechanical energy generated on human bodies in

    peoples everyday life, we can make use of the triboelectric nanogenerator to

    convert this amount of mechanical energy into electricity, to charge-up the

    personal mobile electronics such as cell phones and laptops. This will help to

  • 7/28/2019 nanaogear

    13/24

    greatly improve the convenience of peoples life and expand the application of the

    personal electronics.

    THE POWER SOURCE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES

    The triboelectric nanogenerator can be used as a direct power source to

    facilitate electrochemical process, such as pollution degradation, electrodeposition,

    water splitting and so on.

    THE ACTIVE (SELF-POWERED) PRESSURE SENSOR

    Since the triboelectric nanogenerators can efficiently produce electricity in

    response to external motion and vibration induced by pressure change, they can be

    used as an active sensor to detect the subtle pressure change with very high

    sensitivity. They will not rely on external power source to work.[20]

    PYROELECTRIC NANOGENERATOR

    Pyroelectric Nanogenerator is an energy harvesting device converting the

    external thermal energy into an electrical energy by using nano-structured

    pyroelectric materials. Usually, harvesting thermoelectric energy mainly relies on

    the Seebeck effect that utilizes a temperature difference between two ends of the

    device for driving the diffusion of charge carriers.[21]However, in an environment

    that the temperature is spatially uniform without a gradient, such as in outdoor in

    our daily life, the Seebeck effect can not be used to to harvest thermal energy from

    a time-dependent temperature fluctuation. In this case, the pyroelectric effect has to

    be the choice, which is about the spontaneous polarization in certain anisotropic

    solids as a result of temperature fluctuation.[22]

    The first pyroelectric nanogenerator

    was introduced by Prof. Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Institute of Technology in

    2012.[23]By harvesting the waste heat energy, this new type of nanogenerator has

    the potential applications such as wireless sensors, temperature imaging, medical

    diagnostics, and personal electronics.

    (b) and cooled (c) conditions. The angles marked in the diagrams represent the

    degrees to which the dipole would oscillate as driven by statistical thermal

    fluctuations.

    The working principle of pyroelectric nanogenerator will be explained for 2

    different cases: the primary pyroelectric effect and the secondary pyroelectric

    effect.

    The working principle for the first case is explained by the primary

    pyroelectric effect, which describes the charge produced in a strain-free case. The

    primary pyroelectric effect dominates the pyroelectric response in PZT, BTO, and

    some other ferroelectric materials.[24] The mechanism is based on the thermally

    induced random wobbling of the electric dipole around its equilibrium axis, the

    magnitude of which increases with increasing temperature.[25] Due to thermal

    fluctuations under room temperature, the electric dipoles will randomly oscillate

    within a degree from their respective aligning axes. Under a fixed temperature, the

    total average strength of the spontaneous polarization form the electric dipoles is

    constant, resulting in no output of the pyroelectric nanogenerator. If we apply a

    change in temperature in the nanogenerator form room temperature to a higher

    temperature, the increase in temperature will result in that the electric dipoles

    oscillate within a larger degree of spread around their respective aligning axes. The

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-24http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-24http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-24http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-25http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-25http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-25http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-25http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanogenerator#cite_note-24
  • 7/28/2019 nanaogear

    16/24

    total average spontaneous polarization is decreased due to the spread of the

    oscillation angles. The quantity of induced charges in the electrodes are thus

    reduced, resulting in a flow of electrons. If the nanogenerator is cooled instead of

    heated, the spontaneous polarization will be enhanced since the electric dipoles

    oscillate within a smaller degree of spread angles due to the lower thermal activity.

    The total magnitude of the polarization is increased and the amount of induced

    charges in the electrodes are increased. The electrons will then flow in an opposite

    direction.

    For the second case, the obtained pyroelectric response is explained by the

    secondary pyroelectric effect, which describes the charge produced by the strain

    induced by thermal expansion. The secondary pyroelectric effect dominates the

    pyroelectric response in ZnO, CdS, and some other wurzite-type materials. The

    thermal deformation can induce a piezoelectric potential difference across the

    material, which can drive the electrons to flow in the external circuit. The output of

    the nanogenerator is associated with the piezoelectric coefficient and the thermal

    deformation of the materials.The output current I of the pyroelectric

    nanogenerators can be determined by the equation of I=p(dT/dt), where p is the

    pyroelectric coefficient, A is the effective area of the NG, dT/dt is the rate of

    change in temperature.

    VERTICAL NANOWIRE INTEGRATED NANOGENERATOR (VING):

    VING is a 3-dimensional configuration consisting of a stack of 3 layers in

    general, which are the base electrode, the vertically grown piezoelectric

    nanostructure and the counterelectrode.The piezoelectric nanostructure is usually

    grown from the base electrode by various synthesizing techniques, which are then

    integrated with the counter electrode in full or partial mechanical contact with its

    tip.

    Motion in-plane or out-of-plane occurred by the external vibration induces

    the deformationofthe piezoelectric nanostructure, leading to the generation of the

    electrical potential distribution inside each individual nanowire. It should be noted

    that the counter electrode is coated with the metal forming the schottky contact

    with the tip of the nanowire, where only the compressed portion of piezoelectric

    nanowire would allow the accumulated electrons pass through the barrier between

    its tip and the counter electrode, in case of n-type nanowire. The switch-on and

    off characteristic of this configuration shows its capability of generating direct

    current generation without any requirement for the external rectifier.

    LATERAL NANOWIRE INTEGRATED NANOGENERATOR (LING):

    LING is a 2-dimensional configuration consisting of three parts: the base

    electrode, the laterally grown piezoelectric nanostructure and the metal electrode

    for schottky contact. In most of cases, the thickness of the substrate film is much

    thicker than the diameter of the piezoelectric nanostructure, so the individual

    nanostructure is subjected to the pure tensile strain.

    MATERIALS:

    Among various piezoelectric materials studied for the nanogenerator, many

    of the researches have been focused on the materials with quartzite structure such

    as ZnO, CdS and GaN. The greatest advantage of theses material arises from the

    facile and cost-effective fabrication technique, hydrothermal synthesis. Since the

    hydrothermal synthesis can be conducted in a low temperature environment under

    100C in addition to vertical and crystalline growth, these materials can be

    integrated in various substrates with reduced concern for its physical

    characteristics such as a melting temperature.

  • 7/28/2019 nanaogear

    20/24

    APPLICATIONS:

    Nanogenerator is expected to be applied for various applications where the

    periodic kinetic energy exists, such as wind and ocean waves in a large scale to the

    muscle movement by the beat of a heart or inhalation of lung in a small scale.

    Nanogenerators are now close to producing enough current for a self-powered

    system that might monitor the environment for a toxic gas, for instance, and then

    broadcast a warning. The system would include capacitors able to store up the

    small charges until enough power was available to send out a burst of data. If we

    can sustain this rate of improvement, we will reach some true applications in

    healthcare devices, personal electronics, or environmental monitoring recent

    improvements in the nanogenerators, including a simpler fabrication technique.

    The further feasible applications are as follows

    Self-powered nano/micro devices.

    One of the feasible applications of nanogenerator is an independent or a

    supplementary energy source to nano/micro devices consuming relatively low

    amount of energy in a condition where the kinetic energy is supplied continuously.

    One of example is the self-powered pH or UV sensor integrated VING with an

    output voltage of 20~40 mV onto the sensor.

    Still, the converted electrical energy is relatively small for operating

    nano/micro devices; therefore the range of its application is still bounded as a

  • 7/28/2019 nanaogear

    21/24

    supplementary energy source to the battery. The breakthrough is being sought by

    combining the nanogenerator with the other types of energy harvesting devices,

    such as solar cell or biochemical energy harvester this approach is expected to

    contribute to the development of the energy source suitable for the application

    where the independent operation is crucial, such as Smartdust.

    Smart Wearable Systems:The outfit integrated or made of the textiles with

    the piezoelectric fiber is one of the feasible applications of the nanogenerator. The

    kinetic energy from the human body is converted to the electrical energy through

    the piezoelectric fibers, and it can be possibly applied to supply the portable

    electronic devices such as health-monitoring system attached with the Smart

    Wearable Systems. The nanogenerator such as VING can be also easily integrated

    in the shoe employing the walking motion of human body.

    Another similar application is a power-generating artificial skin. There is a

    possibility of generating AC voltage of up to 100 mV from the flexible SWG

    attached to the running hamster.

    Transparent and Flexible Devices

    Some of the piezoelectric nanostructure can be formed in various kinds of

    substrates, such as flexible and transparent organic substrate. The recent

    researchers have developed the transparent and flexible nanogenerator which can

    be possibly used for self-powered tactile sensor and anticipated that the

  • 7/28/2019 nanaogear

    22/24

    development may be extended to the energy-efficient touch screen devices. Their

    research focus is being extended to enhance the transparency of the device and the

    cost-effectiveness by substituting Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) electrode with a

    graphene layer.

    Implantable Telemetric Energy Receiver:

    The nanogenerator based on ZnO nanowire can be applied for implantable

    devices since ZnO not only is bio-compatible but also can be synthesized upon the

    organic substrate, rendering the nanogenerator bio-compatible in overall. The

    implantable device integrated with the nanogenerator can be operated by receiving

    the external ultrasonic vibration outside the human body, which is converted to the

    electrical energy by the piezoelectric nanostructure.

    In future a day may come when nanogenerators power the entire globe.

    The nanogenerators would certainly bring up a new industrial revolution in the

    power generation .With the application of nanotechnology in every sphere of the

    life many compact designs can be expected which constitute for the

    technological development .With their size, precision and accuracy nanogenerators
