Network Topology Optimization of Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Effectively Harvesting Ocean Wave Energy

ABSTRACT: Summary The emerging triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) network shows great potential in harvesting the ocean wave energy, which can help to achieve large-scale clean wave power generation. However, due to the lack of an effective networking strategy and theoretical guidance, the practicability of the TENG network is heavily restricted. In this paper, based on the typical spherical TENG, we investigated the networking design of TENGs. Four fundamental forms of electrical networking topology are proposed for large-scale TENG networks, and the influences of cable resistance and output phase asynchrony of each unit to the network output were systematically investigated. The research results show that the forms of electrical networking topology can produce an important influence on the output power of large-scale TENG networks. This is the first strategy analysis for the TENG network, which provides a theoretical basis and a universal method for the optimization design of large-scale power networks. Graphical Abstract Highlights • The effects of cable resistance and phase asynchrony to TENG networks were studied• Typical electrical networking topologies are studied that heavily impact the result• It provides a theoretical basis for optimization design of large-scale TENG networks Nanotechnology; Engineering; Nanotechnology Fabrication; Energy Systems

A Spherical Hybrid Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Enhanced Water Wave Energy Harvesting.

Project description:Water waves are a continuously generated renewable source of energy. However, their random motion and low frequency pose significant challenges for harvesting their energy. Herein, we propose a spherical hybrid triboelectric nanogenerator (SH-TENG) that efficiently harvests the energy of low frequency, random water waves. The SH-TENG converts the kinetic energy of the water wave into solid?solid and solid?liquid triboelectric energy simultaneously using a single electrode. The electrical output of the SH-TENG for six degrees of freedom of motion in water was investigated. Further, in order to demonstrate hybrid energy harvesting from multiple energy sources using a single electrode on the SH-TENG, the charging performance of a capacitor was evaluated. The experimental results indicate that SH-TENGs have great potential for use in self-powered environmental monitoring systems that monitor factors such as water temperature, water wave height, and pollution levels in oceans.

Flexible triboelectric nanogenerators using transparent copper nanowire electrodes: energy harvesting, sensing human activities and material recognition.

Project description:Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a promising green technology to efficiently harvest otherwise wasted mechanical energy from the environment and human activities. However, cost-effective and reliably performing TENGs require rational integration of triboelectric materials, spacers, and electrodes. The present work reports for the first time the use of oxydation-resistant pure copper nanowires (CuNWs) as an electrode to develop a flexible, and inexpensive TENG through a potentially scalable approach involving vacuum filtration and lactic acid treatment. A ∼6 cm2 device yields a remarkable open circuit voltage (Voc) of 200 V and power density of 10.67 W m-2 under human finger tapping. The device is robust, flexible and noncytotoxic as assessed by stretching/bending maneuvers, corrosion tests, continuous operation for 8000 cycles, and biocompatibility tests using human fibroblast cells. The device can power 115 light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a digital calculator; sense bending and motion from the human hand; and transmit Morse code signals. The robustness, flexibility, transparency, and non-cytotoxicity of the device render it particularly promising for a wide range of energy harvesting and advanced healthcare applications, such as sensorised smart gloves for tactile sensing, material identification and safer surgical intervention.

Design and Optimization Principles of Cylindrical Sliding Triboelectric Nanogenerators.

Project description:Reciprocating motion is a widely existing form of mechanical motion in the natural environment. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that work in sliding mode are ideal for harnessing large-distance reciprocating motion, and their energy conversion efficiency could be greatly enhanced by adding springs to them. Herein, we focused on investigating the design and optimization principles of sliding mode TENGs by analyzing the effects of spring parameters and vibration frequency on the triboelectric output performance of typical cylindrical sliding TENGs (CS-TENGs). Experimental study and finite elemental analysis were carried out based on a CS-TENG model assembled using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film as the negative layer and an aluminum film as the positive layer. The energy output was found to be mainly affected by the change of relative displacement between the two friction layers, rather than the reactive force applied by the springs or the velocity of the sliding motion. However, the frequency of the output signals could be improved when the stiffness coefficient of the springs and the CS-TENG vibration frequency were increased. This study provides valuable directions for the design and optimization of sliding mode TENGs containing springs, and will motivate in-depth research on the fundamental principles of TENG operation.

Project description:In this article, triboelectric effect has been used to harvest mechanical energy from human motion and convert it into electrical energy. To do so, different ways of optimizing the energy generated have been studied through the correct selection of materials, the design of new spacers to improve the contact surface area, and charge injection by high-voltage corona charging to increase the charge density of dielectric materials. Finally, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been manufactured, which is capable of collecting the mechanical energy of the force applied by hand tapping and using it to power miniaturized electronic sensors in a self-sufficient and sustainable way. This work shows the theoretical concept and simulations of the proposed TENG device, as well as the experimental work carried out.

Magnetic capsulate triboelectric nanogenerators.

Project description:Triboelectric nanogenerators have received significant research attention in recent years. Structural design plays a critical role in improving the energy harvesting performance of triboelectric nanogenerators. Here, we develop the magnetic capsulate triboelectric nanogenerators (MC-TENG) for energy harvesting under undesirable mechanical excitations. The capsulate TENG are designed to be driven by an oscillation-triggered magnetic force in a holding frame to generate electrical power due to the principle of the freestanding triboelectrification. Experimental and numerical studies are conducted to investigate the electrical performance of MC-TENG under cyclic loading in three energy harvesting modes. The results indicate that the energy harvesting performance of the MC-TENG is significantly affected by the structure of the capsulate TENG. The copper MC-TENG systems are found to be the most effective design that generates the maximum mode of the voltage range is 4 V in the closed-circuit with the resistance of 10 GΩ. The proposed MC-TENG concept provides an effective method to harvest electrical energy from low-frequency and low-amplitude oscillations such as ocean wave.

Triboelectric-Electromagnetic Hybrid Generator for Harvesting Blue Energy.

Project description:Progress has been developed in harvesting low-frequency and irregular blue energy using a triboelectric-electromagnetic hybrid generator in recent years. However, the design of the high-efficiency, mechanically durable hybrid structure is still challenging. In this study, we report a fully packaged triboelectric-electromagnetic hybrid generator (TEHG), in which magnets were utilized as the trigger to drive contact-separation-mode triboelectric nanogenerators (CS-TENGs) and coupled with copper coils to operate rotary freestanding-mode electromagnetic generators (RF-EMGs). The magnet pairs that produce attraction were used to transfer the external mechanical energy to the CS-TENGs, and packaging of the CS-TENG part was achieved to protect it from the ambient environment. Under a rotatory speed of 100 rpm, the CS-TENGs enabled the TEHG to deliver an output voltage, current, and average power of 315.8 V, 44.6 μA, and ~ 90.7 μW, and the output of the RF-EMGs was 0.59 V, 1.78 mA, and 79.6 μW, respectively. The cylinder-like structure made the TEHG more easily driven by water flow and demonstrated to work as a practical power source to charge commercial capacitors. It can charge a 33 μF capacitor from 0 to 2.1 V in 84 s, and the stored energy in the capacitor can drive an electronic thermometer and form a self-powered water-temperature sensing system.

Multifunctional Meta-Tribomaterial Nanogenerators for Energy Harvesting and Active Sensing.

Project description:Discovering novel multifunctional metamaterials with energy harvesting and sensing functionalities is likely to be the next technological evolution of the metamaterial science. Here, we introduce a novel concept called self-aware composite mechanical metamaterial (SCMM) that can transform mechanical metamaterials into nanogenerators and active sensing mediums. In pursuit of this goal, we examine new paradigms where finely tailored and seamlessly integrated self-recovering snapping microstructures composed of topologically different triboelectric materials can form self-powering and self-sensing meta-tribomaterial systems. We explore various deformation mechanisms required to induce contact electrification between these snapping microstructures under periodic deformations. The multifunctional meta-tribomaterial systems created under the SCMM concept will act as triboelectric nanogenerators capable of generating electrical signals in response to the applied mechanical excitations. The generated electrical signal can be used for active sensing of the applied force and can be stored for empowering sensors and embedded electronics. We conduct theoretical and experimental studies to understand the mechanical and electrical behavior of the multifunctional SCMM systems. The broad application of the proposed SCMM concept for designing artificial materials with novel properties and functionalities is highlighted via prototyping self-powering and self-sensing blood vessel stents and shock absorbers.

Theoretical System of Contact-Mode Triboelectric Nanogenerators for High Energy Conversion Efficiency.

Project description:As the rapid expansion of next-generation electronics, portable and efficient energy sources has become one of the most important factors impeding the market development. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are a potential candidate for its unsurpassed features. Herein, we deeply analyzed the power and conversion efficiency of contact-mode TENGs considering the whole energy conversion process. Firstly, reaching beyond the conventional analysis, a compressive force was introduced to derive a more versatile motion profile, which provided a better understanding of the working principle of contact-separation process. Then, we deeply analyzed the influence of various parameters on its performance. Especially, the maximum efficiency TENGs can be obtained under optimum force. It is realistic and useful for more efficient TENGs. Furthermore, this research stands a good chance of establishing standards for quantifying the efficiency of TENGs, which lays the basis for the further industrialization and multi-functionization of TENGs technology.

Comb-structured triboelectric nanogenerators for multi-directional energy scavenging from human movements.

Project description:A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an emerging energy harvesting technology utilizing multi-directional, wasted mechanical energies stemming from vibrations, winds, waves, body movements, etc. In this study, we report a comb-structured TENG (CTENG) capable of effectively scavenging multi-directional motions from human movements, which include walking, jumping, and running. By attaching CTENG to a person's calf, we obtain a root-mean-square (RMS) power value of 5.28 μW (i.e. 13.12 V and 0.4 μA) for 1 s during mild running action (~5 m/s), which is sufficient for powering 10 light emitting diodes (LEDs). We integrate a CTENG with a simple hand-held pendulum (HHP) system with a natural frequency of 5.5 Hz. The natural frequency and input energy of our HHP system can be easily controlled by changing the holder mass and initial bending displacement, thus producing different output behaviors for the CTENG. Under the optimal HHP-based CTENG system design, the maximum output reaches 116 V at 6.5 μA under 0.1 kg mass and 4 cm bending displacement conditions. The corresponding output energy is 52.7 μJ for an operation time of 10.8 s. Our HHP-CTENG system can sufficiently power 45 LEDs and shows different output performances by varying the driving velocity of a vehicle, thus demonstrating the possibility for a self-powered velocity monitoring system.
