Sumario:In this context, the open-circuit voltage generated by either poly (vinylidene fluoride) or PVDF and ZnO composite sample before being enhanced to 4.2 V compared to 1.2 V for the samples of pure PVDF. The spin coating method was used to create a composite film, which served as a piezoelectric nanogenerator (PNG). Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and PVDF serve as the matrix for the coating structure. Thin films were created that employed the spin coating method to achieve the desired results of ZnO’s non-brittle outcome and piezoelectric characteristics, as well as PVDF for use in self-powered devices. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were used to evaluate the properties of these formations. The electrical properties of the film were measured using an oscilloscope. Results indicated that by adding ZnO nanoparticles to the PVDF samples, piezoelectric capabilities were enhanced compared to samples containing PVDF only. These results point to promising uses for various wearable devices, such as water strider robot systems and self-operating equipment.
