Globally, the internet of things (IoT) is a concept for the realization, integration, and updating of both the physical and digital world through the use of sensors to obtain accurate data from the environment triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are shown to be promising for applications involving self-powered sensors and mechanical energy harvesting. Traditional triboelectric generators harvest energy in contact mood but are not cost-effective. Therefore, in this research article, we report on the design and development of a simple, robust, cost-effective, and novel TENG, which can provide a maximum power of around 9.89 μW at an external load resistance of 85 MΩ. The fabricated TANG has a maximum open-circuit voltage of 54 V and a short circuit current of 61 μA. As a proof of concept, capacitors of different ratings were charged and 30 LEDs (Light-emitting diode) were powered up through the fabricated TENG. Output results show that the many commercial electronic devices such as a smartwatch, calculator, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), temperature sensor, pressure sensor and so many low current operating sensors can be powered up through the fabricated self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator.
