Kinetic motion sensors based on flexible and lead-free hybrid piezoelectric composite energy harvesters with nanowires-embedded electrodes for detecting articular movements

Seong Su Ham et al.

Summary: This study developed a ceramic-polymer hybrid lead-free piezoelectric composite material that can generate voltage and current under mechanical bending deformations, resulting in flexible energy harvesters and kinetic motion sensing gloves. The advantages of the P(VDF-TrFE) matrix for piezoelectric composite-based devices were validated, and stable and reliable self-powered kinetic motion sensors were successfully fabricated for monitoring biomechanical motions. The hybrid lead-free piezoelectric composite shows promise for future low-power electronic motion detection applications.
