AI Article Synopsis
- A new composite triboelectric nanogenerator (CTG) using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and cellulose nanocrystal flakes (CNCFs) shows a tenfold increase in performance compared to pure PDMS.
- The CNCFs generate positive charges when compressed, which enhances electron transfer and creates additional charges.
- The CTG can produce an impressive output power of 1.65 mW, equating to 0.76 mW per cm during continuous operation.
Article Abstract
A novel polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/cellulose nanocrystal flake (CNCF) composite triboelectric nanogenerator (CTG) using CNCFs as effective dielectrics exhibited a 10-times-enhanced triboelectric performance compared with its pure PDMS counterpart. Positive charges generated on the surface of the CNCFs during cyclic compression boosted electron transfer and induced extra charges. The CTG exhibited an instantaneous output power (density) of 1.65 mW (0.76 mW cm) under continuous operation.
