Abstract
A highly durable, efficient and flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator, comprised of piezoelectric nanocomposite nanofibers embedded into an elastomer, was designed for energy harvesting under heavy loading conditions. The high resistance of the generator to ambient conditions for prolonged periods of time, as well as resistance to damage under heavy loading conditions, enabled the efficient harvest of bio-mechanical energy during human walking. This energy could be stored in a capacitor to create a self-powered sensor system. This approach may help enable practical applications of piezoelectric nanogenerators in wearable systems.237
