Abstract
Energy harvesting and energy transmission are the key technologies for self-powered systems; thus, the combination of these two is urgently needed. An innovative electric field resonance (EFR)-based wireless triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is proposed herein. By integrating the TENG with a capacitive coupler, the output of the TENG can be transmitted wirelessly from the transmitter to the receiver in the form of an oscillating signal with an energy-transfer efficiency of 67.8% for a 5 cm distance. Theoretical models of the EFR-TENG system are established, showing excellent agreement with the experimental results. It is demonstrated that the flexible EFR-TENG worn on the wrist can drive a digital watch wirelessly or light up at least 40 light-emitting diodes in series. The EFR-TENG is further utilized for spontaneous wireless sensing with a transmission distance up to 2.3 m with high system tolerance, showing the great potential of this novel strategy for energy harvesting and real-time wireless sensing applications.
