A Novel Photoelectric Conversion Yarn by Integrating Photomechanical Actuation and the Electrostatic Effect

Abstract

A novel photoelectric conversion device in a yarn type is created by assembling an aligned carbon-nanotube fiber coated with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) and an aligned carbon-nanotube sheet/paraffin wax/polyimide bilayer composite strip together. A high output voltage is achieved with high reversibility and durability.
