Abstract
This research investigates the solid-state synthesis of lead-free (K, Na)0.5NbO3 ceramics to improve the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for energy-harvesting applications. The TENGs have developed as potential devices for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. However, traditional TENG materials frequently include lead, which raises environmental and health problems. To overcome this issue, lead-free ceramics were examined as alternative materials with superior properties. In this work, a TENG was fabricated using potassium sodium niobate (KNN) ceramics as one triboelectric layer, Kapton as the other triboelectric layer, and a flexible substrate. The aim was to create TENGs with improved performance and environmental sustainability. The output performance of the TENG was estimated to be 70 V and 1100 nA. The TENG was further used to charge capacitors, light up an LED, and harvest energy from various body motions.
