Abstract

AbstractTriboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) harvesting ocean wave energy is an effective method to alleviate the energy crisis. However, the breakdown phenomenon is ubiquitous for the TENG with a large area of dielectric layer, which not only limits the output and reliability but also highly risks the device failure. Here, a self‐recovery TENG (SR‐TENG) featuring high breakdown resistance is designed, which achieves a high output charge density of 4.24 mC m−2 with the assistance of the charge excitation technique, as well as maintains 87% of the initial output even after six times fierce electric breakdown, minimizing the negative impacts of the breakdown phenomenon. Besides, based on the SR‐TENG, a symmetric anaconda‐shaped self‐charge excited TENG is designed for effective water wave energy harvesting. This work not only sheds light on the self‐recovery phenomenon in TENGs, but also represents a significant step toward the high performance TENG featuring high breakdown resistance and ultimate stability, accelerating the practical applications of TENG for blue energy harvesting.
