The hybrid generators work using photovoltaic- and piezoelectric-principles, where the active semiconductors were ZnO nanofibres synthesized by electrospinning at various feed rates of precursor. The results show that the crystallinity, crystalline size, fibre size, and fibre uniformity examined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were strongly affected by changing the solution flow rate among 2, 4, 6, and 8 μL/min. Meanwhile, the voltage and power generated from the hybrid generators were influenced by the crystalline quality and morphology of the ZnO fibres. The highest voltages of photovoltaic- and piezoelectric-based hybrid generators were 507 and 36.3 mV, respectively. In addition, the maximum power values of photovoltaic- and piezoelectric-based generators were 706.72 μW/cm² and 49.6 nW/cm², respectively. Therefore, hybrid generators are of interest for fabrication into self-power devices.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Hybrid nanogenerator,Nanofibre,Photovoltaic,Piezoelectric,Semiconductors[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors thank the Rector of Universitas Sebelas Maret, Nr: 353 /UN27.21/PN/2016 and General Director of Strengthening Research and Development, Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education, the Republic of Indonesia, Nr: 041/SP2H/LT/DRPM/II/2016, 17 February 2016 and Nr: 01/E/KPT/2017, 6 January 2017 for supporting the funding for doing the research.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
