Gel sensor uses motion to generate 83% higher voltage than counterparts
Researchers have developed a gel electret capable of stably retaining a large electrostatic charge. The team then combined this gel with highly flexible electrodes to create a sensor capable of perceiving low-frequency vibrations.
“When these liquids have been combined with electrodes to create flexible devices, they have proven difficult to immobilize and seal, resulting in leakage issues. Moreover, the electrostatic charge retention capacities of alkyl–π liquids needed to be increased in order to improve their power generation capabilities.” Out of that, they were able to make a sensor out of this special gel by adding flexible electrodes, a metallic film such as Ag-AgCI that’s applied on .
