Sulfur-doped-ZnO-nanospire-based transparent flexible nanogenerator self-powered by environmental vibration

An S-doped-ZnO-nanospire-based nanogenerator that converts environmental vibration into electrical energy is proposed. The nanogenerator piezoelectricity is improved by loading weight, ultraviolet (UV), and a sharp Pt/ZnO nanowire electrode. The output current and voltage of the nanogenerator in the dark and under UV light are similar to 4.32 x 10(-8) A and similar to 0.646 V and 5.73 x 10(-8) A and similar to 0.689 V.
