DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201404291 were driven by the planar sliding TENG and their optical direction and power could be modulated by the external mechanical energy. The active micro-actuators based on this TENG could open up the road to more important potential applications of independent and sustainable self-powered MEMS/NEMS. The basic structure of the planar sliding TENG is composed of a freestanding triboelectric-layer and two pairs of orthogonal electrodes, as schematically illustrated in Figure 1a. For the fabrication of the planar sliding TENG device, Al and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with a large difference in triboelectric polarity, were selected as the conducting film and the freestanding triboelectric layer, respectively. Two rectangular Al films, each tailored to 7 cm× 14 cm, were deposited side by side on the bottom acrylic substrate with a 0.1 cm gap in the X direction in between them, and they served as the bottom electrodes. Two more rectangular Al films of the same size were deposited side by side on the top acrylic substrate, this time with a 0.1 cm gap in the Y direction in between them, and they served as the top electrodes. Two square PTFE films, each tailored to 7 cm× 7 cm, were then adhered on both sides of the supporting acrylic substrate of the same size and each was brought into close contact with either the top or bottom electrode.In order to further improve the triboelectric charge density, the surface of both PTFE films was treated by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to create nanoparticle structures, as shown in Figure 1 b. Driven by a planar force, the freestanding PTFE layer could slide in the plane between the top and bottom electrodes, through which dual-channel output voltages were supplied.
