Implication

Energy harvesters leverage mechanical energy in paper-based devices, indicating potential for sustainable solutions.

Key Points

  • To investigate the use of paper-based materials for efficient piezoelectric energy harvesting.
  • Exploration of different paper forms as substrates and active layers.
  • Evaluation of devices with ZnO/ethylcellulose nanocomposites embedded.
  • Testing architectures with commercial and screen-printed electrodes.
  • Maximum output of (3.5 ± 0.8) V achieved with ZnO embedded in Whatman paper.
  • Output voltage of (0.29 ± 0.01) V with screen-printed electrodes at 10 N force.
