Flexible Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Paper, PET and Aluminum

Different methodologies have been embraced on reaping encompassing energy as economical, support free, and green power hotspots for driving some little gadgets because of the increased energy crisis. Triboelectric nanogenerators can harvest mechanical energy with effortlessness, cost-effectiveness, and robustness with the concept of electrostatic induction and triboelectric effect. A flexible TENG based on paper and PET has been fabricated of 4×1.8Inch
²
which generated the 16V with the output power of 11.42μW at the load of 25MΩ, which can power up several Light Emitting Diodes LED's and commercial capacitor rating of 4.7μF also charged with the TENG.
