Abstract
Developing eco-friendly and low-cost electronics is an effective strategy to address the electronic waste issue. In this study, transparent cellulose nanopaper (T-paper) and polylactic acid (PLA) electret were used to construct a biodegradable and transparent paper-based electret nanogenerator. The nanogenerator could be assembled with paper products to form a self-powered smart packaging system without impairing the appearance, due to the high transparency and desirable output performance. Furthermore, the self-degradation property in the natural soil of the nanogenerator is demonstrated, indicating that the nanogenerator is recycled and will not pollute the environment. We anticipate that this study will provide new insights to develop eco-friendly power source and paper-based electronics.
