A triboelectric nanogenerator based on cosmetic fixing powder for mechanical energy harvesting.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we use commercial powder particulates (a cosmetic fixing powder) as triboelectric materials for constructing a triboelectric nanogenerator (CFP-TENG). Through finger pressing, the CFP-TENG generated approximate open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and maximum power density values of 1141 V, 521 µA, and 570.96 μW/cm², respectively. Thirty-seven commercial blue LEDs can be easily lit up by the CFP-TENG. Moreover, this TENG, which was designed as a novel palette structure for harvesting mechanical energy from bicycle motion, serves as a self-powered bicycle speed sensor. In addition, the cosmetic fixing powder can be used as an effective material to enhance the triboelectric property of skin. This study provides an effective method for developing a cost-effective TENG without the use of complex surface micro-/nano-texturing.

Coaxial double helix structured fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator for effectively harvesting mechanical energy.

Project description:Harvesting energy from the surrounding environment, particularly from human body motions, is an effective way to provide sustainable electricity for low-power mobile and portable electronics. To get adapted to the human body and its motions, we report a new fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator (FTNG) with a coaxial double helix structure, which is appropriate for collecting mechanical energy in different forms. With a small displacement (10 mm at 1.8 Hz), this FTNG could output 850.20 mV voltage and 0.66 mA m-2 current density in the lateral sliding mode, or 2.15 V voltage and 1.42 mA m-2 current density in the vertical separating mode. Applications onto the human body are also demonstrated: the output of 6 V and 600 nA (3 V and 300 nA) could be achieved when the FTNG was attached to a cloth (wore on a wrist). The output of FTNG was maintained after washing or long-time working. This FTNG is highly adaptable to the human body and has the potential to be a promising mobile and portable power supply for wearable electronic devices.

A Stacked FKM/PU Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Discrete Mechanical Energy Harvesting.

Project description:To combine the advantages of elastic and nonelastic triboelectric materials, this work proposes a new type of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on stacking -the stacked FKM/PU TENG. By stacking the elastomer polyurethane (PU) and the nonelastomer fluororubber (FKM), the FKM/PU TENG combines the inherent triboelectric characteristics of both materials and the unique elasticity of PU to achieve an output performance that is much higher than that of the FKM-TENG or the PU-TENG. The maximum instantaneous open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the FKM/PU TENG reach 661 V and 71.2 μA, respectively. Under the limiting conditions of 3 Hz and maximum compression, this device can attain a maximum power density of 49.63 W/m3 and light more than 500 LEDs. Therefore, stacking materials with different properties gives the FKM/PU TENG high output performance and great application potential, which can contribute to future development of discrete mechanical energy harvesting.

Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Droplet Energy Harvesting Based on Hydrophobic Composites.

Project description:Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) have shown great potential in harvesting energy from water. For the TENG that harvests water energy, surface hydrophobicity is crucial for its performance. In this paper, we prepare a hydrophobic composite film of Polyvinylidene Fluoride/Polydimethylsiloxane/Polytetrafluoroethylene (PVDF/PDMS/PTFE) and an electrode of Polyaniline/Carbon nanotubes/Silver nanowires (PANI/CNTs/AgNWs) by electrospinning technology and a doping method, respectively, which are served as the friction layer and top electrode of TENG. The contact angle of the hydrophobic film and electrode both reach over 120°, which makes the separation process between water and the interface complete and promotes the output of TENG. The open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc) can reach 150 V and 60 μA approximately. In addition, the composite electrode can be applied in the preparation of complex electrode shapes. Furthermore, the different reactions of TENG to different liquids indicate that it may contribute to liquid-type sensing systems. This work presents an efficient approach to fabricating hydrophobic films and electrodes, laying a foundation for the development of TENG for harvesting water energy.

High performance floating self-excited sliding triboelectric nanogenerator for micro mechanical energy harvesting.

Project description:Non-contact triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) enabled for both high conversion efficiency and durability is appropriate to harvest random micro energy owing to the advantage of low driving force. However, the low output (<10 μC m-2) of non-contact TENG caused by the drastic charge decay limits its application. Here, we propose a floating self-excited sliding TENG (FSS-TENG) by a self-excited amplification between rotator and stator to achieve self-increased charge density, and the air breakdown model of non-contact TENG is given for a maximum charge density. The charge density up to 71.53 μC m-2 is achieved, 5.46 times as that of the traditional floating TENG. Besides, the high output enables it to continuously power small electronics at 3 m s-1 weak wind. This work provides an effective strategy to address the low output of floating sliding TENG, and can be easily adapted to capture the varied micro mechanical energies anywhere.

Plasticized PVC-Gel Single Layer-Based Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Harvesting Mechanical Energy and Tactile Sensing.

Project description:Triboelectric nanogenerators have garnered significant attention as alternative power sources for wearable electronics owing to their simple structure, easy fabrication, low cost, and superior power output. In this study, a transparent, stretchable, and attachable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is built with an advanced power output using plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-gel. The PVC-gel exhibit very high negative triboelectric properties and electrically insulating PVC became an electrically active material. It is found that a single layer of PVC-gel can act as a dielectric and as a conducting layer. The PVC-gel based single layer of triboelectric nanogenerator (S-TENG) creates output signals of 24.7 V and 0.83 µA, i.e., a 20-fold enhancement in the output power compared to pristine PVC-based TENGs. In addition, the S-TENG can stably generate output voltage and current under stretching condition (80%). The S-TENG can be implemented as a tactile sensor that can sense position and pressure without combining multiple elements or electrode grid patterns. This study provides new applications of power sources and tactile sensors in wearable electronics.

3D Printed Double Roller-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Blue Energy Harvesting.

Project description:The ocean covers 70% of the earth's surface and is one of the largest uncultivated resources still available for harvesting energy. The triboelectric energy harvesting technology has the potential to effectively convert the ocean's "blue energy" into electricity. A half-cylinder structure including rollers floating on the water has already been used, in which the pendulum motion of the rollers is driven by the waveform. For the stable motion of the rollers, the printed surface of the device was treated with acetone for attaining hydrophilicity. The electrical outputs with the proposed device were enhanced by increasing the contact surface area by simply implementing the double roller structure with double side-covered electrodes. With the optimized structure, the maximum power density reached a value of 69.34 µW m-2 at a load resistance of 200 MΩ with the device's high output durability. Finally, the fabricated device was also applied to the artificial water waves to demonstrate the possibility of using this device in the ocean. By simply modifying the electrode structure and adding a roller, this device demonstrated the ability to generate over 160% of electrical output with the same covered area of the ocean by the triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and potential ocean application.

Energy Storage Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Ratchet Mechanism for Random Ocean Energy Harvesting.

Project description:The instability of the ocean waves, such as intermittence, randomness, and irregularity, greatly affects the application of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) in its aspects and leads to the irregularity and uncontrollability of its output performance. Hence, the energy storage TENG (ES-TENG) based on the ratchet mechanism is proposed in this work. The ES-TENG uses the ratchet mechanism to store the wave energy in the clockwork spring and then releases it in a centralized way to convert the wave energy into electric energy. When the ES-TENG adopts this method, the change of external excitation does not affect its output performance. Simultaneously, the shell of the ES-TENG is duck-shaped, which can better adapt to the wave environment. The peak power, open-circuit voltage, and short-circuit current of the ES-TENG are 6.2 mW, 495 V, and 19 μA, respectively. In the simulated wave experiment, the ES-TENG can successfully drive a temperature sensor. In summary, this work shows an economic, environmental friendly TENG that can adapt to the wave motion, and its output performance is not affected by wave instability, which has an important guiding significance for the further development and utilization of TENG in ocean energy.

A multifunctional triboelectric nanogenerator based on PDMS/MXene for bio-mechanical energy harvesting and volleyball training monitoring.

Project description:Within the domain of wearable devices that are self-powered and sensory, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have surfaced as a notable solution to meet the growing needs for energy harvesting. This study unveils an innovative wearable and stretchable multifunctional double-layered TENG, based on PDMS/MXene, known as PM-TENG. Furthermore, PM-TENG can also be used as a joint sensor to monitor the movement of athletes' joints during volleyball training. By augmenting the matrix with PDMS/MXene, which possesses dual capabilities-namely, charge capture and charge movement-the intermediary layer is integrated. This leads to a two fold increase in the ability to trap charges and the overall triboelectric performance. With a power density reaching 11.27 mW, it notably exceeds the performance of its counterparts that solely utilize PDMS, by nearly 11 times. This academic effort elucidates the important role of PM-TENG in biomechanical energy capture and autonomous wearable sports motion sensing.

Wearable triboelectric nanogenerators based on hybridized triboelectric modes for harvesting mechanical energy.

Project description:In this paper, we demonstrate a newly designed hybridized triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) fabric incorporating multiple working modes, which can effectively harvest ambient mechanical energy for conversion into electric power by working in a hybridization of a contact-separation mode, a sliding mode and a freestanding triboelectric layer mode. The power generation of each mode of the TENG fabric was systematically investigated and compared along different directions, under different frequencies and at different locations. Owing to the advanced structural design, the as-fabricated TENG fabric could be switched between multiple working modes according to its real working situation. High output voltage and current of about 140 V and 0.6 μA, respectively, were obtained from a larger size of TENG fabric, which could be used to light up 120 LEDs in series. Compared to the previously reported TENGs, such a hybridized TENG fabric based on hybridized modes has much better adaptability for harvesting energy (such as human walking, running, and other human motion) in different directions. This work presents the promising potential of hybridized TENG fabric for power generation and self-powered wearable devices.
