The increasing interest in harvesting mechanical energy from day-to-day activities is gaining huge interest among researchers. We have fabricated a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) made of aluminum and PDMS film acting as positive and negative triboelectric layers. The layers are arranged in an arc-shaped structure with an air gap of 1 cm between the layers of the device. The PDMS layer is made by blending the polymer solution with the hardener in an appropriate ratio and dried to make the transparent and flexible polymer film. The device shows a maximum electrical response of 110 V and 260 nA voltage and current with the power density of 2.9 mW/m² at 100 MΩ load resistance. Further, the device has been used for lighting green LEDs and charging commercial capacitors. An Arduino board was connected with LED and buzzer, which was triggered by the TENG device. This shows that with the proper usage of electronic components TENG can be used for self-powered sensors and with IoT applications.

研究人员对从日常活动中获取机械能的兴趣日益浓厚。我们已经制造了由铝和PDMS薄膜制成的摩擦电纳米发电机（TENG），该薄膜用作正摩擦电层和负摩擦电层。这些层以弧形结构布置，在装置的各层之间具有1cm的气隙。通过以适当的比例将聚合物溶液与硬化剂混​​合并干燥以制成透明且柔性的聚合物膜，从而制得PDMS层。该设备显示最大电响应为110 V，电压和电流为260 nA，功率密度为2.9 mW / m ²在100MΩ的负载电阻下。此外，该设备已用于点亮绿色LED并为商用电容器充电。一块Arduino板连接有LED和蜂鸣器，这是由TENG设备触发的。这表明，通过正确使用电子组件，TENG可以用于自供电传感器和物联网应用。
