Abstract
The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been proved to be a green and efficient energy harnessing technology for electricity generation from ambient mechanical motions based on its ability to leverage the triboelectrification process. Enhancing TENG output performance through rational structural design still triggers increasing research interest. Here, we report a ternary electrification layered architecture beyond the current binary TENG systems, with improved performance for mechanical energy harvesting. Introducing a ternary Kapton layer into the traditional binary electrification layered architecture of TENGs consisting of copper and fluorinated ethylene propylene, yields a 2.5 times enhancement of peak power output, representing a 6.29-fold increase compared to the TENG composed of copper and Kapton. A wide-range of material configurations were systematically tested using this ternary electrification layered architecture to prove its practical effectiveness. The ternary electrification layered architecture invented in this work provides an alternative strategy to enhance TENG output performance, which represents a solid step for TENGs application in high-performance mechanical energy harvesting.
