Description
Summary:The rapid progress in the field of wearable and portable devices has attracted the scientific community to develop flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) as a promising power source. We report, a cost-effective, fully-flexible, contact-separation mode TENG using polyvinyl chloride (PVC). From hand-tapping, the device generated significant output voltage and current and can light up LEDs. The output voltage and current of PVC-TENG are measured for relative humidity (RH) ranging from 60 to 100%, it is found to decrease as RH increases. This work demonstrates a feasible approach to fabricating PVC-TENG for integration with wearable devices that work under normal humidity in earth environments.
