Abstract
Triboelectric Nanogenerator is a newly invented energy harvesting technology which converts external mechanical energy into electricity based on universally accepted triboelectric principle. In this research paper we have developed an easy way to produce Triboelectric Nanogenerator by using easily available material such as Kapton, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET Plastic Sheet) and Aluminium Foil unlike more complex material such as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) used by the core researchers. We have also designed and developed a sheet of Triboelectric Nanogenerator and implemented it on electric vehicle and observed the scavenging of friction energy from rolling tyres and also calculated that how much energy Triboelectric Nanogenerator can produce. This successful demonstration of Triboelectric Nanogenerator on wheel and its theoretical calculations provides a promising solution to scavenging the wasted energy of the vehicle and use this wasted energy to increase the battery capacity and range of electric vehicle.
Highlights
Intensive research efforts have been dedicated to the creation of alternative energy technologies due to the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuel and global energy demand in the last decades
In recent years triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been developed as a new scavenging theory based on the conjunction of triboelectric friction and electric induction
A Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) can be utilized to actively detect dynamic and static arising from mechanical agitation using voltage and current output signals respectively
Summary
Intensive research efforts have been dedicated to the creation of alternative energy technologies due to the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuel and global energy demand in the last decades. The harvesting of environmental mechanical energy is regarded as an effective and promising way to meet energy requirements due to its large abundance and omnipresence. In 2006 a nanogenerator was developed to collect mechanical energy from different mechanical energy sources, including fluid or air flows, ultrasonic waves, deformations, rotations and human activities using nano-composites or piezoelectric nanomaterials. In recent years triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been developed as a new scavenging theory based on the conjunction of triboelectric friction and electric induction. The potential of Nano generator to scavenge waste mechanical energy in many different ways is one of the most appealing merits. Friction is a big loss of energy in a rotary mechanism, the most common example being rolling tires on the ground. In expanding the range of electric vehicles, extracting this type of energy would be promising solution
