“…Accordingly, the output voltage, current, and power of TB-TENG further increase to 186 V, 4.6 μA, and 34 μW, respectively (Figure g,h and Figure S5). The corresponding charge density reaches 16.5 nC/cm 2 , which is comparable to that of TENGs based on commonly used fluorine-containing polymer materials. ,, A comparison between TB-TENG with previously reported waste-material-based TENGs is also made and shown in Table . − ,− It can be seen that the output charge density of TB-TENG is in a leading position among waste-material-based TENGs.…”

A waste-plastic-material-based triboelectric nanogenerator (W-TENG) from green manufacturing technology is urgently needed in response to sustainable development of smart cities. However, the low output charge density of the previous W-TENGs impedes them from going further in real applications. Toward this issue, an attractive PP/PS composite tribo-layer entirely based on wasted materials is developed in this work. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of the excellent tribo-negative property of PP and strong charge trapping ability of PS, a discarded take-out-box-based TENG (TB-TENG) with high output charge density is presented. The maximum output charge density of TB-TENG reached 16.5 nC/cm2, which is in a leading position among waste material based TENGs and comparable to that of TENGs based on commonly used fluorine-containing polymer materials. To apply in a smart city, we have remodeled the TB-TENG as a smart energy floor to power multiple functional electronics, such as LEDs, a household hygrometer, and a wireless lighting system through harvesting energy from human or vehicle movement. Moreover, an approach of on-road vehicle speed detection is also established when the TB-TENG serves as a self-powered speed sensor in traffic surveillance systems. This work demonstrates a promising example of using a waste take-out box to design a high output and ecofriendly TENG.

“…The latest development in the reuse of plastic waste is using triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology to produce electrical energy. Figure illustrates the TENGs constructed from different waste materials, including household, − biowaste, − automotive rubber, medical waste, − electronic waste, and other waste . However, medical waste has not been extensively explored in the literature.…”

This paper discusses the environmental problems posed by medical plastic waste produced in healthcare facilities and explores a suitable way to reutilize the waste through triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) device technology. Remarkably, the study investigates the potential of medical waste saline bottles to create energy-harvesting, health-monitoring devices and tactile, humidity-sensing applications. Saline bottle sheets are used as triboelectric material to fabricate a TENG in vertical contact separation (VCS) and single electrode (SE) modes. The VCS-TENG produced a power density of 8.78 W/m2 and could power various devices, including 420 red LEDs and portable electronic devices. Sleep monitoring experiments were performed by using an implanted TENG inside the pillow. The SE mode of TENG produced a power density of 1.46 W/m2 and was demonstrated for tactile sensing applications. The present work suggested using medical waste to make health monitoring, tactile sensing, humidity sensing, and energy-harvesting devices and possible applications in touch sensors for various security applications, human–machine interfaces, and IoTs. The proposed idea of using medical waste for TENG fabrication can be further extended to other nontoxic waste plastic generated in the medical field.

“…The bio-waste materials include peanut shells [23], sunflower husks [24], eggshells [25], rice husks [26], and fish bladder [27]. Household waste includes plastic bags [28], food packaging covers [29], rubber tires powder [30], and milk cartons [31]. The development of W-TENGs using a range of waste materials shows the potential for creating sustainable energy sources.…”
