Hollow ZnO nanorod in PVDF matrix for high-performance sensing, vibration energy harvesting and wearable application.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The hollow ZnO nanorods embedded in PVDF matrix were synthesized using a precise solvent casting technique, demonstrating superior performance and significantly enhancing the piezoelectric response, enabling the efficient detection of subtle mechanical stimuli such as gentle touch, bending, and vibration. The incorporation of ZnO nanorods facilitated the formation of the β-phase in PVDF, improved the material's crystallinity, and enhanced visible emission properties, contributing to its energy-harvesting efficiency. The ZnO/PVDF composite outperformed the PVDF film by approximately 6.5 times under repeated tapping energy harvesting conditions. Similarly, the ZnO/PVDF composite outperformed pure PVDF by charging the 10 µF capacitor to 5 V in just 12 s at a vibration frequency of 26.7 ± 0.38 Hz. The harvested energy was successfully deployed to power a standalone Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module, which acted as a transmission node for remotely monitoring vibration data from the ZnO/PVDF composite-based sensor. This innovative approach aligns with the advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) technology, highlighting its potential for energy-efficient wearable devices and remote sensing applications in vibration monitoring and other smart systems.
