PVDF was chosen for its strong electroactive polar phase and inherent tribo-negative properties. Cobalt ferrite (CF) NPs exhibit exceptional charge-trapping capabilities, while nickel’s metallic nature minimizes triboelectric losses due to its conductivity. The synergistic effects of Ni-doped CF (N-CF) fillers enhance charge-trapping efficiency and reduce triboelectric losses, significantly boosting TENG performance. Nickel oxide (NiO), CF, and N-CF NPs were synthesized using a facile co-precipitation method, and PVDF composites were fabricated through electrospinning. The physical and crystalline properties of the composites were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Results indicated that incorporating 3 wt% N-CF into PVDF optimized the <i>β</i>-crystalline phase content, crucial for improved output performance. Electrospun PVDF/N-CF (PNC) nanocomposite mats served as the tribo-negative (TN) layer, while aluminum (Al) electrode acted as the tribo-positive (TP) layer in TENG device fabrication. Electrical measurements showed that pristine PVDF/Al TENG devices exhibited lower performance (open-circuit potential—<i>V</i><sub>oc</sub> = 22 V, short-circuit current—<i>I</i><sub>sc</sub> = 0.61 µA) compared to the optimized Al/PNC3 TENG devices (<i>V</i><sub>oc</sub> = 421 V, <i>I</i><sub>sc</sub> = 1.0 µA). The importance of a spacer gap was emphasized, with devices incorporating a spacer gap demonstrating superior performance. The optimized TENG device successfully powered over 30 light-emitting diodes and a stopwatch in real-time applications.

The main challenges in ZIBs are the formation of zinc dendrites and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which can lead to short circuits and reduced battery life. To address these issues, the authors have functionalized chitin separators through a process involving alkaline treatment and mechanical grinding, resulting in nano-chitin fibers with varying degrees of deacetylation (D-x-ChNF). The D-4-ChNF separator, in particular, has been shown to have uniformly distributed nanochannels, high mechanical strength, and excellent electrochemical stability. It also exhibits a strong affinity for aqueous ZnSO<sub>4</sub> electrolytes and enhances the electrochemical reversibility of zinc through increased coordination with Zn<sup>2+</sup> ions. This leads to a significant improvement in the battery’s cycle life, with the D-4-ChNF separator outperforming traditional glass fiber (GF) separators by more than six times in cycle life at 5 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> and 5 mAh cm<sup>−2</sup>. The D-4-ChNF separator also demonstrates superior rate performance and long-term cycling stability, with capacity retention rates of 90.46% and 96.68% after 1000 cycles at 5 A g<sup>−1</sup> and 10 A g<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. The separator’s ability to suppress dendrite growth and improve the uniformity of zinc deposition is attributed to its ability to reduce nucleation overpotential and promote uniform zinc deposition along the (002) crystal plane.
