Abstract

Recycling of plastic and waste materials to fabricate smart devices can reduce their environmental damage. These materials can be used to develop triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that harness renewable energy and transform it into electrical energy. This energy can power future Internet of Things (IoT) devices and generate self-powered sensors. The TENGs can reuse natural and plastic waste to fabricate their triboelectric layers and support structures. Herein, we report a novel eco-friendly TENG based on recycled and natural waste materials composed of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam and banana leaf. This nanogenerator can convert the vibrations into electrical energy for smart home security systems, using a simple electromechanical structure, an easy operating principle, and a microcontroller with connection to IoT. This TENG can reach a peak–to–peak open circuit voltage of 604 V, and a power density of 12.65 mWm⁻² with a load resistance of 30 MΩ at 30 Hz. This nanogenerator has a stable performance with ability to power small electronic devices and IoT sensors. In addition, this TENG can contribute to the circular economy using recycled and waste materials to harvest green energy from different vibration sources.

基于可再生能源收集的回收和废物材料的可持续摩擦电纳米发电机

回收塑料和废料来制造智能设备可以减少它们对环境的破坏。这些材料可以用来开发摩擦电纳米发电机（TENGs），利用可再生能源并将其转化为电能。这种能量可以为未来的物联网（IoT）设备提供动力，并产生自供电传感器。他们可以再利用自然和塑料废物来制造摩擦电层和支撑结构。在此，我们报告了一种新型的生态友好型TENG，该TENG基于回收和天然废物，由乙酸乙烯乙烯（EVA）泡沫和香蕉叶组成。该纳米发电机采用简单的机电结构、简单的操作原理和连接物联网的微控制器，可以将振动转化为智能家庭安全系统所需的电能。该TENG在30hz下的峰值开路电压为604 V，功率密度为12.65 mWm−2，负载电阻为30 MΩ。该纳米发电机具有稳定的性能，能够为小型电子设备和物联网传感器供电。此外，这款TENG还可以利用回收材料和废物从不同的振动源中获取绿色能源，为循环经济做出贡献。
