Abstract Scope |
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are flexible, efficient, and cost-effective energy harvesters which convert ambient mechanical energy to electrical energy. Despite the simple structure of TENGs, there are different parameters that can improve the output performance of the device, such as relative permittivity of the tribo-contact materials, the electrode gap distance, the contact area surface texture, and thickness. Using the simulation process can obtain the optimal parameter and reduce the time and cost involved in the fabrication of multiple devices. In this work, triboelectric nanogenerators with different nanofiber polymer pair materials (e.g., PVDF, PLLA, PET) have been designed and theoretically investigated using a FE simulation tool. The effect of the material properties and geometric configuration (structural parameters) of TENGs design on the surface potential and output power generation have been calculated. |
