Abstract
The mechanical impact-based energy harvesting behavior of a 0-3 Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3/PVDF(25/75) composite prepared using the melt-mixing method have been demonstrated. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed the formation of a composite sample, while AFM image analyses revealed that BNT-particle sizes ranged between 0.6 and 1.4 μm and were evenly distributed throughout the polymer matrix, and surface roughness was found to be between 0.2 and 1.8 μm. With increasing impact height (applied mechanical energy), a remarkable increase in generated electric voltage and energy was observed. As a result, the present composite is a better lead-free alternative for piezo-sensing/detection and energy harvesting applications.
