highly desirable. Recently, the various waste materials have been employed as electrodes for harvesting clean energy using the triboelectric effect. Briefly, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a novel technology that harvests energy from natural processes, first introduced by Wang and co-workers in 2012. [7] The TENGs are capable of harvesting mechanical energy using contact electrification or electrostatic induction. [8][9][10][11] Introducing novel tribopositive material and new device structures are promising strategies to enhance the output performance of TENGs. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Many researchers are focusing on the use of biomaterials such as lignin, [18] cellulose, [19] silk fibroin, [20] tomato peel, [21] and also biowaste materials such as peanut and sunflower outer shells [22,23] as a positive tribolayer in the TENG. Few researchers also have been proposed to use the waste plastic and aluminum soda-can materials in TENGs. [24,25] In this respect, using medical waste to minimize global energy crises can be a useful approach for sustainable waste management.Hence, the utilization of expired pharmaceuticals in the TENGs can effectively mitigate waste and provide energy harvesting materials. Among the various drugs, paracetamol/ acetaminophen is one of the extensively used drugs for various pains and fever. [26,27] As the realization of the proposed TENG, paracetamol (PAR), nimesulide (NIM), and guaiphenesin (GUA) are utilized for TENG due to their excellent electron donating ability, which are attributed to the presence of hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, leading to positive tribo-potential. [28] Herein, we develop novel TENGs using the expired drugs as tribopositive materials for energy conversion. The employed three different drugs are such as PAR, NIM, and GUA. These drugs contain paracetamol as the main component with additional nimesulide and guaiphenesin. All the drug samples initially undergo basic analytical characterizations. The proposed TENGs are assembled using the expired pharmaceutical drugs (PAR, NIM, and GUA) as positive tribo-film and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) tribonegative layer. The various electrical measurements are performed to analyze the output performance of the drug-based TENGs. Finally, the real-world demonstration is provided by using TENG as a self-powering source for smart electronic applications.
