Role of BaTiO3, PDMS, and MWCNTs in the Development of Next-Generation Flexible Energy Harvesting Devices

EasyChair Preprint 13794

Abstract

The development of flexible energy harvesting devices is pivotal in advancing portable and wearable electronics. Among various materials, Barium Titanate (BaTiO3), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) have shown significant potential due to their unique properties.

This study explores the integration of BaTiO3, PDMS, and MWCNTs to fabricate flexible energy harvesting devices. A comprehensive approach involving material synthesis, characterization, and device fabrication was adopted. The electrical properties, flexibility, and energy conversion efficiency of the composite materials were systematically investigated.

The results demonstrate that the incorporation of BaTiO3 enhances the piezoelectric properties, while PDMS contributes to the flexibility and durability of the devices. MWCNTs were found to improve the electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of the composites. The fabricated devices exhibited high energy conversion efficiency and excellent mechanical stability under repeated bending.

The synergistic effects of BaTiO3, PDMS, and MWCNTs create a promising pathway for developing next-generation flexible energy harvesting devices. These findings suggest potential applications in wearable technology, providing a sustainable solution for powering portable electronics.
