摩擦电纳米发电机（TENG）是能够有效地从我们周围普遍存在的机械运动中获取电能的设备。以开发环境足迹小的TENG为目标，本文提出了使用橡胶和纸作为构建摩擦电纳米发电机的生物材料的潜力。我们探讨了这些TENG的性能与各种接触材料组合，电极尺寸和工作频率。经过优化配置的TENG实现了超过30 V的最大开路输出电压和约3µA的短路电流。此外，这种优化配置的TENG能够为各种电容器充电，并实现了21 mW/m2的最大功率输出密度。这项工作表明，生物衍生材料可用作有效，可持续和低成本的接触材料，用于开发具有最小环境足迹的摩擦电纳米发电机。
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are devices capable of effectively harvesting electrical energy from mechanical motion prevalent around us. With the goal of developing TENGs with a small environmental footprint, herein we present the potential of using rubber and paper as biological materials for constructing triboelectric nanogenerators. We explored the performance of these TENGs with various contact material combinations, electrode sizes, and operational frequencies. The optimally configured TENG achieved a maximum open circuit output voltage of over 30 V, and a short circuit current of around 3µA. Additionally, this optimally configured TENG was capable of charging various capacitors and achieved a maximum power output density of 21mW/m2. This work demonstrates that biologically derived materials can be used as effective, sustainable, and low-cost contact materials for the development of triboelectric nanogenerators with minimal environmental footprint.
