Abstract
We are surrounded by low-frequency magnetic fields generated by electrical power lines and consumer electronics. As a by-product of electric current flow, the stray magnetic field causes electromag- netic interference and noise pollution, threatening data security and human health. Similar to sunlight and wind energy, the abun- dant electromagnetic waste energy can be renewably harvested by using electromagnetic nanogenerators and converted into kinetic energy and useful electricity. Recently, bio-inspired commodity polymer hybrids utilizing bacteria and DNA, as fillers, exhibit high power output and an impressive energy conversion efficiency. This shed lights on the prospects of deploying bio-engineered piezoelec- tric polymers materials for fabricating energy generators and smart sensors. To overcome the current technical limitations of inorganic materials – based magnetic energy generators, our work develops soft and flexible magneto-mechano-electric (MME) generators by integrating novel 3D nanostructured magnetic materials to bio- organic-inspired semicrystalline organic piezoelectric polymers for efficient and sustainable magnetic energy harvesting and conversion.
