Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are pivotal for powering small electronic devices by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. However, the wear resistance of TENG friction layers remains a critical barrier to their long-term performance. This study introduces a hybrid material combining fluorinated ethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) and three-dimensional hierarchical porous graphene (3D HPG) to address these challenges. FEVE was selected for its low friction coefficient and excellent wear resistance, while 3D HPG enhances charge generation and transfer efficiency. The incorporation of 3D HPG into FEVE significantly improves both triboelectric output and durability, achieving a charge density of 140 μC/m2, surpassing conventional copper-based TENGs (50-120 μC/m2). The hybrid material demonstrates minimal performance degradation over 105 sliding cycles, highlighting its potential for durable, low-cost, and high-efficiency TENGs in wearable and portable electronics.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
