Article Abstract
Self-sufficient power sources provide a promising application of abundant electronic devices utilized in detection of ambient properties. Recently, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been widely investigated to broaden the self-powered systems by converting the ambient mechanical agitations into electrical voltage and current. Graphene oxide (GO), not only for sensing applications but also as a brilliant energy-related nanomaterial, provides a wide range of controllable bandgap energies, as well as facile synthesis route. In this study, GO-based self-powered photodetectors have been fabricated by conflating the photosensitivity and triboelectric characteristics of freestanding GO paper. In this regard, photodetection via TENGs has been investigated in two forms of active and passive circuits for ultraviolet (UV) and visible illumination. The photodetector responsivity upon UV enhanced from 0.011 mA Wfor conventional GO-photoresistors up to 13.41 mA Wby active photodetection setup. Moreover, applying the active-TENG improved the efficiency from 0.25% (in passive TENG) to 4.21%. Our findings demonstrate that active TENGs might enable materials with insignificant optical response to represent considerably higher light-sensitivity by means of synergizing the effect of TENG output changes with opto-electronical properties of desired layers.

Cellulose-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have garnered significant attention in wearable electronics due to their biodegradability and abundant availability. However, the near-electroneutrality of cellulose hinders its advancement and broader application in high-performance TENGs. In this study, the triboelectric polarity of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) is modified by grafting different functional groups, wherein the incorporation of polar sulfonic acid groups enhances the deep trap density on the surface of CNF by an order of magnitude, reduces charge dissipation rates, and increases surface potential by nearly 200 % compared to untreated CNF.

This study presents a novel photovoltaic triboelectric nanogenerator (PTENG) that operates on sliding contacts between n-type (gallium arsenide) GaAs and metal electrodes in the presence of periodic light illumination, which offers harvesting energy synergistically by integrating both photovoltaic and triboelectric effects to enhance the energy output. Using an in-house built test setup with provision of laser illumination, the open-circuit voltage () and short-circuit current () were measured for the n-GaAs semiconductors with different metal contacts (Al and Cu). Under both laser light (630 nm) and without laser light conditions, n-GaAs with aluminum contacts exhibited the highest and values, reaching up to 11.

High-strength cellulose materials, endowed with both biocompatibility and lightweight characteristics, are accelerating the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies in wearable electronics. However, the abundance of hydroxyl groups on cellulose surfaces imparts pronounced hydrophilicity, severely constraining the cellulose's wet strength. This study proposes a noncovalent bonding strategy based on hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions and develops a Janus-type cellulose triboelectric material with an asymmetric wettability.

Solid-liquid triboelectric nanogenerators (SL-TENGs) have attracted attention for use in water resource collection. However, traditional methods limit improvements in the surface energy density of the friction layer because of insufficient precision. This study used femtosecond laser technology to create three-dimensional bionic structures on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are typically constrained to operate below 200 °C due to the thermionic emission effect and material degradation at high temperatures. Herein, high-temperature-resistant fluorinated polyimide nanofibers (4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride-4,4'-oxidianiline/2,2″-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine, 6FDA-ODA/TFDB) were designed to mitigate the thermionic emission effect through the introduction of trifluoromethyl (-CF) groups. 6FDA-ODA/TFDB nanofibers exhibited a fine fiber structure and a large highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap, which enhanced its effective contact area and maintained more localized states for charge transfer.
