Largely enhanced triboelectric nanogenerator for efficient harvesting of water wave energy by soft contacted structure
Abstract
Abstract Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a new emerging and cost-effective technology for harvesting water wave energy because of its unmatchable performance in low frequency and randomly directed motions. Here, we report an approach that significantly increased the output power of spherical TENGs by optimizing both materials and structural design. Fabricated with an acrylic hollow sphere as its shell and a rolling flexible liquid/silicone as the soft core, the soft-contact spherical triboelectric nanogenerator (SS-TENG) presents up to 10-fold enhancement to the maximum output charge compared to that of a conventional Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based hard-contact one, which is resulted from the significantly increased contact area. Besides, the output is tunable through controlling the softness of the liquid/silicone core. Our finding provides a new optimization methodology for TENGs and enable its more promising usage in harvesting large-scale blue energy from water wave in oceans as well as feeble but ubiquitous wind energy.

“Therefore, the triboelectric charge density is the figure-of-merits to evaluate the performance of TENG [30], which is largely determined by the effectiveness of contact between two triboelectric surfaces [31].”

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.
