- Abstract
The invention of flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators in today's nanotechnology era attracted the attention of researchers on nano-energy harvesting systems. Since then, extensive research has been ongoing in piezoelectric composites for energy generation because of their potential to replace conventional energy sources. The latest advances in synthetic materials enhanced the piezoelectric properties of composites and proved their potential to become self-sustainable nanotechnology for green energy applications. In this review, a brief introduction to the field of piezoelectricity is provided, followed by a thorough analysis of the novel advances in materials, namely polymers, ceramics, and composites, with their synthesis and fabrication technologies. Finally, the state-of-the-art uses of these materials in self-charging, implantable, and wearable devices as nanogenerators are extensively discussed.
