Abstract:
This paper presents a novel wearable hybrid harvester system as a glove that contains four distinct scavenging modules of flexible transducer film, photosensitive 3D dual-gate thin-film transistor, and a particular power management box. Each single module is formed by a piezoelectric-charge-gated TFT (PCGTFT). The reported system is capable of scavenging energy from two various free of charge energy sources (Piezoelectric plus Photoelectric). Aforesaid system unlike other state-of-the-arts overcomes several key challenges in interfacing, storage and power management. Harvested energy which is administered through power and storage management system ultimately lightens a typical light emitting diode (LED), testifies capability of such glove to power up some low-power electronic devices.
