Abstract

A method for manufacturing a core-shell coaxial gallium nitride (GaN) piezoelectric nanogenerator is provided. A mask covering a center part of a gallium nitride wafer is removed. An electrodeless photoelectrochemical etching is performed on the gallium nitride wafer to form a primary GaN nanowire array on a surface of the gallium nitride wafer. A precious metal layer provided on the surface of the gallium nitride wafer is removed and an alumina layer is deposited on the surface of the gallium nitride wafer to cover the primary GaN nanowire array to obtain a core-shell coaxial GaN nanowire array. A first conductive layer is provided on a flexible substrate to which the core-shell coaxial GaN nanowire array is transferred. A second conductive layer is provided at a top end of the core-shell coaxial GaN nanowire array, and is connected to an external circuit to obtain the core-shell coaxial GaN piezoelectric nanogenerator.
