The utilization of piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) based on halide perovskite materials has demonstrated significant promise for energy harvesting applications. However, the challenge of synthesizing halide perovskite materials with both high output performance and stability using a straightforward process persists as a substantial obstacle. Herein, we present the fabrication of CsPbI3 nanorods (NRs) exhibiting highly uniform orientation within polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers through a simple texture engineering approach, marking the instance of enhancing PENG performance in this manner. The resultant composite fibers showcase a short-circuit current density (Isc) of 0.78 μA·cm−2 and an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 81 V, representing a 2.5 fold increase compared to the previously reported highest value achieved without the electric poling process. This outstanding output performance is ascribed to the orientation of CsPbI3 NRs facilitated by texture engineering and dipole poling via the self-polarization effect. Additionally, the PENG exhibits exceptional thermal and water stability, rendering it suitable for deployment in diverse and challenging environmental conditions. Our findings underscore the significant potential of textured CsPbI3 NRs composite fibers for powering low-power consumer electronics, including commercial LEDs and electronic watches.
