Abstract
The low root mean square (RMS) current density generated by triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has significantly hindered their effectiveness in charging lithium batteries. In response, we present a universal energy storage strategy for TENGs specifically designed for real marine environments, facilitating effective charging of lithium batteries for the first time. By integrating multiple grating electrodes and a ternary electrification architecture with an opposite-charge compensation mechanism, we increased the RMS current density of TENGs to 57.19±0.23 mA·m⁻²·Hz⁻¹. Additionally, we designed a lithium polymer charge management module that further boosts the RMS current density to 0.86±0.02 A·m⁻²·Hz⁻¹, a 14-fold improvement, enabling direct charging of 30 mAh and 40 mAh lithium batteries in 2.33±0.05 h and 3.73±0.14 h, respectively. Building on this foundation, we developed a self-powered remote (0.65 nautical miles) monitoring sensor network tailored for marine applications, enabling the initial use of Internet of Things technology in a marine environment.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Environmental Science, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, publishes original research and review articles covering interdisciplinary topics in the (bio)chemical and (bio)physical sciences, as well as chemical engineering disciplines. Published monthly by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), a not-for-profit publisher, Energy & Environmental Science is recognized as a leading journal. It boasts an impressive impact factor of 8.500 as of 2009, ranking 8th among 140 journals in the category "Chemistry, Multidisciplinary," second among 71 journals in "Energy & Fuels," second among 128 journals in "Engineering, Chemical," and first among 181 scientific journals in "Environmental Sciences."
Energy & Environmental Science publishes various types of articles, including Research Papers (original scientific work), Review Articles, Perspectives, and Minireviews (feature review-type articles of broad interest), Communications (original scientific work of an urgent nature), Opinions (personal, often speculative viewpoints or hypotheses on current topics), and Analysis Articles (in-depth examination of energy-related issues).
