Biocompatible Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Self-Powered Microelectronics: Design, Performance, and Real-Time Applications.

In the present study, we demonstrated a cost-effective chia seed-based triboelectric nanogenerator (C-TENG), leveraging the triboelectric properties of chia seeds. The C-TENGs are fabricated with a simple architecture, establishing adaptability, cost effectiveness, and versatility as an ecofriendly harvester of mechanical energy. The C-TENG exhibits open- circuit voltage and short-circuit currents on the order of 501.
