Abstract
Noncontact triboelectric sensors (TESs) have the potential to enhance self-powered sensing performance by eliminating the need for physical contact. This study demonstrates a strategy to construct noncontact TES that enables self-powered sensing and vibration signal acquisition with high sensitivity and wide bandwidth. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes into nitrocellulose (CNTs/NC) endows the tribopositive layer with larger inner micro/nanocapacitances, consequently augmenting the charge storage capacity. As a result, the contactless sensing performance of CNTs/NC-based TES (CNTs/NC-TES) was enhanced by 146%. Correspondingly, the related theory and working mechanism of noncontact sensing were demonstrated. Furthermore, the CNTs/NC-TES exhibits optimal distance response sensitivity of 57.10 V mm-1, a wide-bandwidth response from 0.1 to 4000 Hz, and relative humidity (RH) stability. This contactless CNTs/NC-TES has the potential for high sensitivity and wide frequency vibration monitoring in a high-RH environment.
