ABSTRACT

As an emerging ambient energy harvesting technology, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been proven as robust power sources. Here, we reported a novel functional triboelectric nanogenerator based on the soft-foam (S-TENG). In this work, the soft-foam and the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tape are used as the triboelectric materials, and the conductive copper is used as the conductive electrode. The fabricated S-TENG can be developed for mechanical energy harvesting, and the fabricated S-TENG can be used for postoperative rehabilitation monitoring of foot. The S-TENG can be placed in shoes to monitor the contact effect of foot, especially for the monitoring of foot postoperative recovery. This study presents a potential portable TENG device for practical and medical applications.

摘要

作为一种新兴的环境能量收集技术，摩擦纳米发电机（TENG）已被证明是一种强大的电源。在这里，我们报道了一种基于软泡沫（S-TENG）的新型功能性摩擦纳米发电机。在这项工作中，软泡沫和聚氯乙烯（PVC）胶带用作摩擦电材料，导电铜用作导电电极。制造的S-TENG可用于机械能量收集，制造的S-TENG可用于足部术后康复监测。S-TENG可以放在鞋子里监测足部的接触效果，特别是监测足部术后恢复情况。本研究提出了一种用于实际和医疗应用的潜在便携式 TENG 设备。
