In this work, we fabricated first-ever nanohybrids ZnO nanowires (ZnO-NWs)/Metallic Nanotube Arrays (MeNTA) structure for the large-scale fabrication of highly dense laterally and vertical aligned ZnO-NWs. To prepare heterogeneous surface MeNTA by using sputter-deposition different metallic glasses (Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5, Cu47Zr42Al7Ti4, Pd72Cu12Si16, W50Ni25B25 Ni54B0.3Si36Cr2.7Fe7) over on contact-...

The complex tetrapod shape of zinc oxide nanostructure, which is constructed from four one-dimensional arms interconnected together via a central core, special 3D geometry with multifunctional applications in advanced technologies. ZnO hexagonal wurtzite crystal lattice non-centrosymmetric structure introduces interesting piezoelectric property nanorods the bent state, has been well reported an...

Abstract In this work, we present a novel force-sensing device with zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) integrated metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor and encapsulated Kapton tape. The details of the fabrication process working principle ZnO NRs-MOS as force sensor nanogenerator have been discussed. fabricated ZnO-MOS is tested for both open-circuit resistor-connected mode. For an input in rang...

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a potential solution for mechanical energy harvesting over conventional mechanisms such as piezoelectric and electromagnetic, due to easy fabrication, high efficiency and wider choice of materials. Traditional fabrication techniques used to realize TENGs involve plasma etching, soft lithography and nanoparticle deposition for higher performan...

While poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) film is an excellent piezoelectric material for mechanical energy harvesting, the output varies considerably with spin coating conditions. Herein, we reported a systematic evaluation of structural, electrical, mechanical, and microstructural properties spin-coated P(VDF-TrFE) films obtained at various distances from center, as well...

There is evidence to support the claim that speedbreakers can cause accidents and injury. When a vehicle approaches a speed-breaker at a speed greater than some threshold velocity, the risk of accident or injury is substantial. Speed-breakers are inconspicuous in low visibility conditions, like at night, or when there is fog, rain or snow. This problem is particularly acute in developing countr...
