Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) material is mainly used in various electronic applications and in the solar energy harvesting process. In this work, MoS2 nanoparticles are used for piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting applications. MoS2 nanoparticles are synthesized by a hydrothermal process. The synthesized nano-MoS2 is inserted into polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE) to form the MoS2/P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite. Through the presence of nano-MoS2 particles in the polymer chain and elemental molecular binding energy, phase transformation is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. MoS2 nanoparticles in a polymer composite enhance the dielectric behaviour three times higher than that of the pure P(VDF-TrFE) as measured by an impedance analyzer. The four types of energy harvesting devices are fabricated based on the substrate effect like P(VDF-TrFE) without substrate, P(VDF-TrFE) with PET substrate, MoS2/P(VDF-TrFE) without substrate and MoS2/P(VDF-TrFE) with PET substrate and this devices natural resonance frequency, output voltage performance are analyzed by using LDV and shaker. MoS2/P(VDFTrFE) with PET substrate piezoelectric cantilever harvests more AC output voltage 2.96 V in the size of 1 cm * 0.5 cm length and width, respectively.
