Transparent Flexible Graphene Triboelectric Nanogenerators
Abstract
Transparent flexible graphene triboelectric nanogenerators as new promising applications of chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene are successfully demonstrated. The work function and friction are decisive factors to understand the difference in output performance depending on the number of layers of graphene. In this work, we were able to power an LCD, LEDs, and an EL display using the electrical power output of the graphene triboelectric nanogenerator without any external energy source.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
