DC POWER GENERATION DEVICE USING CONDUCTIVE POLYMER GEL AND METHOD THEREOF

Abstract

The present invention relates to a high-output DC electric energy generation device using a conductive polymer gel and, more particularly, to a technology for generating DC electric energy using a charge recombination mechanism through contact-separation and sliding methods, wherein a conductive polymer gel including a mixture of PVC and a plasticizer or a mixture of PVDF and an ionic liquid is disposed between upper and lower metal electrodes made of gold or aluminum. The present invention can provide stable and efficient DC power to various applications such as IoT sensors and small electronic devices by optimizing the thickness of the conductive polymer gel, the concentration of the plasticizer, the metal electrode material, and the like. In particular, the present invention can increase power efficiency through charge generation and accumulation processes performed by vertical and horizontal movements of the electrodes.
