Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are a novel clean and sustainable power generator that is capable of harvesting mechanical energy from micro-motions. Due to the diversity of designs and the flexibility of TENG devices, they are also able to be used as sensors to detect micro-motions without the need for additional power supply, which makes TENGs a promising candidate for green energy and wearable devices. Developing advanced materials and methods to boost the output performance and extend the application fields of TENGs are eternal subjects. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on innovation in triboelectric materials, including material synthesis, modification, and engineering, and the ingenious design of TENGs for enhancing TENG performance, exploring new applications, improving sensing properties, etc.

The sliding freestanding layer triboelectric nanogenerator (SF-TENG) is a sustainable power source that can convert mechanical energy from linear or rotating mechanical motion to electrical energy. This paper proposes a double-layer staggered chain teeth TENG. Comparing the staggered electrode TENG and the double-layer staggered electrode TENG, the output voltage difference is relatively small. The electrode of the TENG is designed to the shape of chain teeth, which proves that TENG can be combined with a zipper, and the best distance among chain teeth in the TENG is determined through experiments. Compared with traditional zippers, the double-layer staggered chain teeth TENG can generate electrical energy during the continuous pulling of the zipper. The double-layer staggered chain teeth TENG has good performance. When the external load is 20 MΩ, the maximum output power reaches 20.18 µW. After the rectification and transformation, the generated electricity can light up 30 LED lights or more, and can also supply power to electronic devices. Through the chain teeth array, the open circuit voltage and transfer charge generated by the zipper during the continuous pulling process are improved. The double-layer staggered chain teeth TENG has a good usage environment in life, and this work will provide valuable insights for the development of SF-TENG technology. Full article
