Zusammenfassung:Energy harvesting from vibrations is demonstrated using a nanogenerator composed of piezoelectric polymer nanowires with high energy conversion efficiency. Nanowires of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) grown using a simple, scalable, and cost‐effective template‐wetting technique are shown to be successfully exploited in high‐performance nanogenerators without the need for electrical poling.
