Choice of Materials for Triboelectric Nanogenerators

초록

A triboelectric nanogenerator is a promising technology in effectively converting mechanical energy to electric energy, which is broadly applicable to many areas such as energy harvesting, self-powered sensors, and biomedical applications. This chapter includes the overview of the materials for triboelectric nanogenerator. Various topics from the fundamentals of the contact electrification to the strategies to increase the charge density are covered from materials aspect. Finally, material challenges in triboelectric nanogenerators such as mechanical stability, thermal stability, humidity sensitivity, and big noise are studied. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
