Transparent flexible charge-generating piezoelectric nanodevices are developed. The resulting integrated nanodevice generates a noticeable current when it is pushed by application of an external load. Piezoelectric ZnO nanorod-based with embossed PdAu top electrodes produce the highest output density approximately 10 μA cm−2 at load 0.9 kgf.
