Plasticized PVC-Gel Single Layer-Based Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Harvesting Mechanical Energy and Tactile Sensing.

ABSTRACT: Triboelectric nanogenerators have garnered significant attention as alternative power sources for wearable electronics owing to their simple structure, easy fabrication, low cost, and superior power output. In this study, a transparent, stretchable, and attachable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is built with an advanced power output using plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-gel. The PVC-gel exhibit very high negative triboelectric properties and electrically insulating PVC became an electrically active material. It is found that a single layer of PVC-gel can act as a dielectric and as a conducting layer. The PVC-gel based single layer of triboelectric nanogenerator (S-TENG) creates output signals of 24.7 V and 0.83 µA, i.e., a 20-fold enhancement in the output power compared to pristi
