Abstract

Mechanical energy produced by human motion is ubiquitous, continuous, and usually not utilized, making it an attractive target for sustainable electricity-harvesting applications. In this study, flexible magnetic-Juncus effusus (M-JE) fibers were prepared from plant-extracted three-dimensional porous Juncus effusus (JE) fibers decorated with polyurethane and magnetic particles. The M-JE fibers were woven into fabrics and used for mechanical energy harvesting through electromagnetic induction. The M-JE fabric and induction coil, attached to the human wrist and waist, yielded continuous and stable voltage (2 V) and current (3 mA) during swinging. The proposed M-JE fabric energy harvester exhibited good energy harvesting potential and was capable of quickly charging commercial capacitors to power small electronic devices. The proposed M-JE fabric exhibited good mechanical energy harvesting performance, paving the way for the use of natural plant fibers in energy-harvesting fabrics.
