Thermoelectric and piezoelectric generators have drawn considerable attention for generating electrical energy from heat and mechanical vibrations for replacing the commercially available rechargeable batteries. In this report, we have fabricated flexible hybrid device by combining of the piezoelectric nanogenerator (PVDF-ZnO) and thermoelectric generator (n-leg and p-leg made of Bi2Te3-RGO (Reduced Graphene Oxide) and Sb2Te3-RGO, respectively) by simple chemical solution method. The focus of this research is to integrate thermoelectric and piezoelectric in a small flexible device to harvest electrical energy from both thermal and mechanical energies. The output power of thermoelectric generator is similar to 1.8 nW at a temperature difference of 4 K and the output power of piezoelectric generator is similar to 1.2 mu W.
