The investigations on anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and conversion have a vital role in eradicating the global warming and energy crisis. In this context, defect- engineered two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials...
High-performance triboelectric nanogenerators
(TENG),
generally
comprised of either a pair of surface-functionalized or dielectric
modulated composite frictional layers, are technically unreliable
from a commercial perspective, because of the complex fabrication
procedures and configurations. This work projects a surface area enforced
electrospun Nylon-6,6-based TENG as the vibrational energy scavenging
and seat occupation detection system. The devised TENG can derive
an output response of more than 300 μA of short circuit current,
350 V of open circuit voltage, and a power density of 550 mW m–2, which is the highest compared to previously reported
Nylon-based dielectric-metal contact separation-based TENGs. The seat
occupation sensing was successfully evaluated during a test drive
on the TENG fitted vehicle. The charging up of a 1 μF capacitor
to ∼30 V in 30 s marks the potential of Nylon-6,6 as a promising
material for many applications, including smart transit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
