Abstract

A two-dimensionally structured material is transferred onto a ferroelectric or piezoelectric material layer, a property of the two-dimensionally structured material is controlled by poling performed on the ferroelectric or piezoelectric material to generate electric power generated by friction between the two-dimensionally structured material and a frictional charged material, and the electrostatic energy harvester has improved transparency and mechanical properties using the two-dimensionally structured material.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electrostatic energy harvester with improved transparency and mechanical properties using a material having a two-dimensional structure on a ferroelectric or piezoelectric material layer, comprising:
a lower electrode;
a first material layer disposed on the lower electrode;
a second material layer disposed on the first material layer;
a frictional charged material positioned above the second material layer, configured to repeat contacting and non-contacting the second material layer, and formed of a material having a charging property opposite a charging property of the first material layer; and
an upper electrode disposed on the frictional charged material,
wherein the first material layer includes a ferroelectric or piezoelectric material layer on which poling is performed, and the second material layer is the material having the two-dimensional structure, and frictional electricity is generated when the frictional charged material is changed to a non-contact state with the second material layer from a contact state therewith.

2. The electrostatic energy harvester of claim 1 , wherein the first material layer includes a ferroelectric or piezoelectric material layer on which poling and thermal treatment are performed.

3. The electrostatic energy harvester of claim 1 , wherein the frictional charged material includes a transparent polymer material.

4. The electrostatic energy harvester of claim 1 , wherein the lower electrode and the upper electrode include transparent electrodes.

5. The electrostatic energy harvester of claim 1 , wherein positive or negative poling is performed on the ferroelectric or piezoelectric material layer based on a charging property related to the frictional charged material.

6. The electrostatic energy harvester of claim 1 , further comprising withdrawable parts respectively connected to the lower electrode and the upper electrode, wherein an energy storage part is connected to the withdrawable parts.

7. The electrostatic energy harvester of claim 1 , wherein rectifier diodes are respectively connected between the withdrawable parts and the energy storage part.
