Presentation Summary

  • Energy harvesting from a single nanowire (using an AFM we demonstrate that we can have a large (few mV) piezopotential on a single nanowire (a few nm in diameter))
  • Multi-physics modeling of a single nanowire and a carpet of nanowires (optimization to realize efficient nanogenerators)
  • Nanogenerator prototypes (a few µW can be generated with our prototypes)
  • Perspectives
