This work introduced a conductive interlayer between a main frictional layer and electrode. This approach can suppress the charge recombination rate and improve the amount of charges produced during the triboelectrification process. Bacterial cellulose (BC) film was selected as a main frictional layer for the TENG. A conductive nanomaterial, i.e. silver flake, was incorporated into the BC film as an intermediate layer for enhancing TENG performance. As firstly reported, the maximum electrical outputs for the multi-layer BC structure could be found when using silver flake/BC composite (ratio 1:5) as an intermediate layer, which has 122 V and 8.2 µA of output voltage and current, respectively. This is higher than the output voltage and current of a single layer BC TENG by approximately 3 and 8 times, respectively. The maximum output power of ∼440 µW is achieved by connecting with a load resistor of ∼10 MΩ. This demonstrates an efficient strategy for designing a high performance energy harvester by adding an intermediate layer for the target of practical purposes in sustainable systems.Keywords: Bacterial cellulose paperconductive nanofillerIntermediate layerTriboelectric nanogeneratorPerformance AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge Miss Sasithorn Supaket and Miss Sasiwimon Siripongaporn for their assistance in BC and BC composite synthesis.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported financially by KMITL under Grant No. KREF116501.

As a result, it is feasible to create RFB systems that are both cost and performance effective. Recently, a zinc-manganese RFB that relies on Zn(s)/Zn2+(aq) and Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 redox couples has gained attention since both zinc and manganese are cheap, abundant, and eco-friendly. However, the reversibility of Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 at the positive electrode is limited by the formation of Mn3+ species upon charge/discharge (CD) cycling, resulting in severe capacity fading. Herein, this study examines the use of reducing agents as electrolyte additives to enhance the reversibility of the Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 reaction. Experimental results indicate that sulfuric acid and oxalic acid as additives can significantly improve the reversibility of the Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 reaction and the cycling stability of zinc-manganese RFBs. The acetate-based system demonstrates better reversible reaction than the sulfate-based system having more than 100 CD cycles at a current density of 10 mA/cm2. Coulombic efficiency (CE) is also seen to be higher than 90%.
