Abstract
Abstract In this research work we have demonstrated the fabrication and characterization of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) using different substrates such as ITO coated glass, FTO coated glass, ITO coated PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) which will be acting as rigid as well as flexible substrates. Various triboelectric materials selected from triboelectric series depending upon their position in the triboelectric series are deposited on these substrates. One layer consists of metals which includes aluminum, copper, stainless steel and gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) where as other layer of polymer consists of Polydimethylsiloxane which is basically a cross-linking polymer having insulating properties. Thus, the devices that are fabricated consisted of metal-insulator based TENG which is a two-layer model. These devices are then characterized physically, which includes field-emission scanning electron microscop), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and elemental mapping in order to authenticate the deposition of desired materials on the substrates. In order to characterize the devices electrically force in the form of weights is applied using linear coil actuator and open circuit voltages, short circuit currents are calculated whereas voltages, currents, and powers under different loads are also calculated.
