Abstract
Grafting functional groups allows precise control over triboelectric properties, enhancing triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) performance. In this study, we improved TENG efficiency using Isochrysis galbana particles (IGPs) with hydrophilic and hydrophobic modifications for mechanical and blue energy harvesting. For hydrophilic modification, hydroxyl-rich IGPs were treated with dopamine to form HIGDAPs, which were then combined with polyvinyl butyral (PVB) to fabricate HIGDAPs/PVB nanofibers. This TENG achieved an output of 800 V and 0.4 μA/cm², sufficient to power 500 LEDs, and showed excellent biocompatibility for wearable sensors. For hydrophobic modification, IGPs were esterified with oleoyl chloride, and HIGOEPs were sprayed onto PET fabric to fabricate a waterproof surface for blue energy harvesting. Optimal performance was achieved at a 30° angle, generating 1 V and 1.9 μA due to a maximized contact area of 5.48 mm².
