| Abstract |
Piezoelectric materials are excellent generators of clean energy as they can harvest the ubiquitous vibrational and mechanical forces. Recently, many natural biomaterials (e.g., amino acids, peptides and proteins) that can be synthesized in an environmentally friend method have been shown to have piezoelectric properties. Particularly, strong piezoresponse on the diphenylalanine (FF) and M13 bacteriophage has been reported. However, the difficulty of fabricating scalable unidirectionally oriented and polarized structures of those materials has been a major impediment to the realization of a strong piezoelectric energy harvesters. In this present, I will show a novel strategy to synthesize large-scale aligned self-assembly bio-piezoelectric materials. The orientation and polarization directions of these materials were controlled using self-assembly nature. Furthermore, the bio-piezoelectric materials based energy harvesters were developed. |
