Durable and High-Performance Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on an Inorganic Triboelectric Pair of Diamond-Like-Carbon and Glass.

ABSTRACT: The long-term durability of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) remains a main challenge for practical applications because of inevitable material abrasion and wear, especially for sliding TENGs. Herein, an inorganic triboelectric pair composed of diamond-like carbon (DLC) and glass with excellent durability and triboelectric output for sliding-mode TENGs is proposed. This triboelectric pair possesses a low coefficient of friction and little abrasion and accordingly excellent durability (>500 000 cycles). Moreover, compared with the traditional copper-polytetrafluoroethylene (Cu-PTFE) TENG with maximum transferred charges of 50 nC, those of the DLC-glass TENG reaches 141 nC. Due to the low-friction and high hardness of the triboelectric pair, the output quickly recovers after simply clean
