This study presents a new way for new 3D energy harvesting energy with vertically aligned nanorods arrays. ZnO nanoparticles array on Au/Cr/Si substrate are directly patterned by electrospray. First, gel solutions with zinc acetate, monoethanolamine and 2-methoxyethanol as the precursor by sol-gel technology were formulated. Then, the solutions were stirred to become clear and homogeneous liquid. Second, the precursor solutions were prepared by electrospray, where a Taylor cone was formed to produce ZnO nanoparticles. Then the ZnO nanoparticles were annealed as seed layers for nanorods. By varying the property of the ZnO solution, needle with collector distance, applied voltage, annealing temperature and molar ratio were discussed. After annealing, the orientation of the ZnO nanorods depend on the crystalline orientation of ZnO nanoparticles. The ZnO nanorods were obtained at a temperature of 90 ¢XC by aqueous solution method. The experimental parameters of lengths, diameters, and pH level of the reaction medium of the Zno nanorod were observed and controlled. The physical structures of ZnO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analyses. The results show that the ZnO nanoparticles become more intensity with increasing in annealing temperature. The SEM analysis reveals that the ZnO nanorods have diameters about 100-400 nm and length about 200-1200 nm. Finally, Pt electrode atop as Schottky contacts were packed to fabricate nanogenerator with ZnO nanorods. Then the nanogenerator was driven by ultrasonic wave vibration. The wave drives the electrode up and down to vibrate the nanorods, and its voltage and current were also characterized. The measurement results show the maximum power is 0.004х10-8 W during the operation frequency of 42 kHz.
