Abstract
Harvesting energy from human body motions is an appropriate option as an assistant or even subversive way for powering the booming wearable electronics, in which smart textiles are important components. Here, we fabricate a robust power textile with working mechanism of triboelectrification effect and electrostatic induction effect by simply integrating the normal textiles and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/conductive yarns electrodes. Maximum peak loading voltage and current reaching 230 V and 11.6 μA are obtained by rubbing our power textile, and this alternating and irregular electricity can be accumulated in a capacitor or directly light up 20 blue LEDs. The recovered energy generation ability of the power textile after washing successfully demonstrate its robustness, showing the potential application in powering the electronics in smart textiles.
