The advancement of flexible electronics (bendable electronics), such as the development of flexible television, newspapers, smartphones, smartwatches and smart fabrics requires the needs of flexible power unit as well. As the size of the devices shrinks, however, a new class of bendable power device is vital for driving small electronics for a longer life-cycle. In the powering of wearable the source must be lightweight, thin, small, flexible, robust, transparent and long life-span. Thus the harvesting of environment energy through the mechanical vibration of the transducer. The conversion from the mechanical movement to the electrical energy can be harvest through the piezoelectric effect. This prototype will be used to self-power wearable electronics devices. The power generated by this device can be supplied continuously with the assistance of graphene supercapacitors that is also developed from our carbon electronics laboratory.

The main objective is to design, fabricate and to test the System-On-Chip (SoC) as Energy Harvester prototype to supply the average power between 10 mW to 100 mW (or equivalent to current and voltage ratings from 1.25 mA to 10 mA and 0.8 V to 3 V respectively. In order to achieve the above specifications we have to

1. Optimization of the blending of Barium Titanite, Graphene Quantum Dots and Carbon Nanotubes as piezoelectric material to achieve maximum power.
2. Perform reliability study of the nanogerators in terms of life cycle and mechanical stability This device will be embedded in a special designed shoes-sole and fabric-wear to power wearable electronics devices

1. Patent :
