Nanogenerators on the base of piezoelectric nanowires is a new method for the transformation of mechanical energy into electric energy. Nanowires synthesized from materials with the wurtzite structure, such as ZnO, CdS and ZnS are piezoelectric and therefore the most important materials for nanogenerators. ZnO is also a semiconductor so that a nanogenerator on the base of ZnO nanowires is benefiting. The principle of ZnO nanogenerators is based on inducing a piezoelectrical potential in the nanowire by an external strength. In this work, we report a nanogenerator composed of vertical and dense ZnO nanowires, which are produced by a simple and economical wet chemical method directly on a glass substrate coated with silver. The capacity and electrical potential measurements show that the ZnO nanogenerator produces a piezocurrent if it is mechanical oscillated in microscopic scale.
