Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A self-charging power pack ( 300 ) includes a cathode ( 312 ) and an anode ( 310 ) that is spaced apart from the cathode ( 312 ). An electrolyte ( 318 ) is disposed between the anode ( 310 ) and the cathode ( 312 ). A piezoelectric ion transport layer ( 322 ) is disposed between the anode ( 310 ) and the cathode ( 312 ). The piezoelectric ion transport layer ( 322 ) has a piezoelectric property that generates a piezoelectric field when a mechanical force is applied thereto. The piezoelectric field causes transportation of ions in the electrolyte ( 318 ) through the piezoelectric ion transport layer ( 322 ) towards the anode ( 310 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A self-charging energy storage system, comprising: (a) a cathode; (b) an anode spaced apart from the cathode; (c) an electrolyte disposed adjacent to the anode; (d) a piezoelectric ion transport layer that includes an aligned polar polymer disposed between the electrolyte the cathode, the piezoelectric ion transport layer having a piezoelectric property that generates a piezoelectric field when a mechanical force is applied thereto, thereby causing tra…
