Abstract

Cellulose films coated with ZnO nanoparticles constitute an important material for practical applications ranging from the film paint industry to the technologically appealing area of optoelectronic paper. ZnO-cellulose hybrid nanocomposite was fabricated by growing ZnO on regenerated cellulose directly. This organic-inorganic nanocomposite exhibits excellent piezoelectric behavior. This paper reports electrical and electromechanical behaviors of the ZnO-cellulose hybrid nanocomposite. The fabrication process is briefly introduced, and induced voltage, remnant polarization as well as piezoelectricity between cellulose substrate and ZnO-layers are investigated. Also its charging and discharging behaviors are studied, and its application possibility for super capacitor, paper battery, field effect transistor will be discussed.
