Mechanically and electrically robust, electro-spun PVDF/PMMA blend films for durable triboelectric nanogenerators

Noncontact liquid–solid nanogenerators as self-powered droplet sensors

“…Since WANG's group led the team to construct the ''triboelectric nanogenerator'' in 2012, various triboelectric nanogenerators have emerged one after the other, following more than ten years of work [31]. When the nanogenerator comes into touch with conductors or materials that have different charges (such as metal conductors, water, and so on), its performance decreases, or it may even fail [32][33][34][35]. To avoid the degradation of nanogenerator performance caused by contact with water, we show the schematic diagrams of two NCLS-TENG structures of flat plate type and pipe type (Fig.…”

Progress in techniques for improving the output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators

“…Due to the above advantages, electrostatic spinning has been widely employed in wearable TENGs. [115][116][117] Xing et al 118 prepared a multi-ply and stabilized triboelectric yarn with a frictional charge using silica aerogel introduced into the electrospinning process of PTFE nanocoating. This study provided another way to develop wearable power sources for high-temperature-resistant textile products.…”

Reflections on boosting wearable triboelectric nanogenerator performance via interface optimisation

“…via branching nano fibres) are also likely to boost contact area; thereby, boosting textile TENG output. Some progress has already been made in this direction by using electrospinning to create a greater density of fibre contacts [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. A comprehensive review of electrospun nanofibre based TENGs for wearable applications is given in Babu et al [59].…”
