Abstract

To boost the output of the vibration energy harvester an order of magnitude higher, we devised a high-performance energy harvester taking advantages of the two characteristics of ionic liquid, namely variable deformation of liquid and the electrical double layer between ionic liquid and metal. The electrical double layer is approximately 1nm thick and works as insulator within the voltage range of ±2.0V. Therefore, we can obtain quite high capacitance(1- 10μ/cm²). Squeezing and drawing ionic liquid between a pair of vibrating electrodes, we can obtain a μW-class energy harvester.
