Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) as self-powered sensing devices have attracted extensive interest in the field of flexible wearable electronics. Endowing TENGs with excellent environmental adaptability and high sensitivity is considered to be one of the promising strategies to satisfy future intelligent electronic sensing devices. The interference of a humid environment and common bare electrode has been a great hindrance to the output performance of TENGs. In this paper, a core−shell superhydrophobic and flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (abbreviated as PP/AgH-TENG) was prepared based on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film surface modified with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particles as the triboelectric layer and AgNWs/PVA hydrogel as the electrode. The obtained PP/AgH-TENG (4 × 4 cm 2 area) can easily light about 360 commercial LED lights with a maximum power density of 3.07 W/m 2 by tapping. It is important that PP/AgH-TENG can overcome the effect of water molecules on charge transfer in a humid environment and quickly recover and maintain a high output. In addition, the bracelet made of PP/AgH-TENG can collect the mechanical energy generated by human movement, and these output performance curves clearly reflect the state of human movement. This research has great application potential in the field of intelligent wearable selfpowered sensing.
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.
