In this work, we demonstrate a simple and facile route ofcadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticle (NPs) grafted reduced graphene oxide (rGO) synthesis. It is found that a pinch (0.25 wt%) of as synthesisedCdS/rGOnanocompositecan induce more than 90% of electroactive phases in the electrospunpoly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofiber. Moreover, CdS/rGO nanocomposite doped PVDF nanofiber based nanogenerator (NG) can generate an output voltage of approximately 4 V upon repetitive finger imparting. Thus, the NG can be used as a mechanical energy harvester and power source for portable electronic and optoelectronic wearable devices.
