The global impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, while somewhat contained, remains a critical challenge that has tested the resilience of humanity. Accurate and timely prediction of COVID-19 transmission dynamics and future trends is essential for informed decision-making in public health. Deep learning and mathematical models have emerged as promising tools, yet concerns regarding accuracy persist.

PANI is known to possess high electrical conductivity () and poor thermal conductivity (). However, its potential for thermoelectric applications is constrained by the low value of the Seebeck coefficient ().

Here, we present the fabrication of a double-layer nanocomposite structure for the electronegative layer in a TENG, which resulted in the enhanced generation of surface charges and retention of generated charges. The double-layer structure is a stack of two different nanocomposite layers, in which the top layer is a nanocomposite of PVDF and MXene and the bottom layer is a nanocomposite layer of PDMS and NaNbO nanoparticles.
