Abstract
Self-powered sensors are crucial in the field of wearable devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, an organ-like Ti3C2Tx MXene/metal-organic framework-derived copper oxide (CuO) gas sensor was powered by a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on latex and polytetrafluoroethylene for the detection of ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. The peak-to-peak value of open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current generated by the prepared TENG can reach up to 810 V and 34 μA, respectively. The TENG can support a maximum peak power density of 10.84 W·m-2 and light at least 480 LEDs. Moreover, a flexible TENG under a single-electrode working mode was demonstrated for human movement stimulation, which exhibits great potential in wearable devices. The self-powered NH3 sensor driven by TENG has an excellent response (Vg/Va = 24.8 @ 100 ppm) at room temperature and exhibits a great potential in monitoring pork quality. Ti3C2Tx MXene and CuO were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS to analyze the properties of the materials. The NH3 sensing performance of the self-powered sensor based on MXene/CuO was greatly improved, and the mechanism of the enhanced sensing properties was systematically discussed.
