For environment-friendly renewable energy, blue energy, which is ocean-related energy, has gained an increasing interest due to its huge potential and vast wasted energy. This study suggests a promising buoy-type ocean energy harvesting structure based on a thermoplastic polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a dielectric film for ocean monitoring system. The PMMA dielectric thin film can be easily fabricated with nanopatterned morphological characteristics by thermal nanoimprinting lithography. The buoy-type suggested energy harvesting structure can convert ocean wave energy into electrical energy to power a commercially available Li-ion battery using a regulator-based circuit.
