Nanofiber-Enhanced "Lucky-Bag" Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Efficient Wave Energy Harvesting by Soft-Contact Structure.

ABSTRACT: Developing clean and renewable ocean wave energy is a top priority and an effective way to achieve carbon neutrality. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as promising green and clean energy-harvesting devices. To harvest low-frequency wave energy efficiently, much effort has been made on the modification of the contact surface, which leads to a higher fabrication cost. In this work, we designed a novel "Lucky-Bag" core (LBC) for spherical TENGs with a low-cost and easy fabricating process. The nanofiber/silicone hybrid porous outer layer of the LBC can switch freely from plane to surface and improve the output performance of both the plane and spherical TENGs. Several factors, such as the input frequency, direction, and resistive load, together with the thickness were systema
