Abstract: Herein, we investigated the piezoelectric performance of electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride)/graphitic carbon nitride (PVDF/g-C 3 N 4 ) nanocomposite fibers (PGN-X). Addition of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets improved the spinnability of nanofibers and augmented the ?-phase content of PVDF. The synthesized PGN non-woven mats were flexible and easily deformable without disrupting the continuity of fibers. Upon the addition of g-C 3 N 4 , tensile strength and thermal stability of nanocomposite fibers improved significantly. A maximum voltage output of ~7.5 V was generated for PGN nanogenerator which is ~8 times more than that of PVDF nanogenerator. Also, the PGN-X nanogenerator generated current output of 0.23 ?A and a power density of 0.22 ?W/cm ?2 . Improved physico-chemical characteristics and piezoelectric performance of PGN nanogeneratoris promising and makes it suitable for portable electronic and wearable devices. 2019, The Polymer Society, Taipei.
