In this paper, we fabricated transparent flexible nanogenerators (NGs) by employing flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate for the growth of ZnO nanowires. The fully packaged NG showed good transparency with a transmittance of 50–60% in the visible range. The output voltage and current was 8 V and 0.6 μA, respectively, corresponding to an output power density of ∼5.3 mW/cm3. The NG also showed excellent robustness and could stably scavenge energy from the motion of a vehicle. Based on this characteristic, we demonstrated its application as a self-powered sensor for monitoring vehicle speed and detecting vehicle weight.
