High-Performance and Evaporative Triboelectric Nanogenerators

该项目旨在创建具有出色的吸湿排汗和热湿稳定性的高性能摩擦电纳米发电机（TENG），同时为生物力学能量收集和自供电传感提供舒适的平台。该项目预计将产生新的知识，同时提高输出功率和水分管理能力的摩擦纺织品使用跨学科的方法。这将克服TENG在潮湿条件下输出恶化的瓶颈，并通过在物联网时代提供有吸引力的可再生能源来驱动低功耗传感器，并在医疗保健，体育，虚拟现实和智能家居中开辟新的机会，从而提供显着的好处。

This project aims to create high performance triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with outstanding moisture wicking and thermal-moisture stability, while providing a comfortable platform for biomechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing. The project expects to generate new knowledge on simultaneous enhancement of output power and moisture management capability of tribo-textiles using interdisciplinary approaches. This should overcome the bottleneck of output deterioration of TENGs under humid conditions and provide significant benefits by offering an attractive renewable energy source for driving low power sensors in the era of IoT and opening new opportunities in healthcare, sports, virtual reality and smart homes.
