Polymers with Non-polar Lubricants: Degradation and Triboelectric Performance
Abstract: Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) transform electrical energy from kinetic energy with the assistance of electrostatic interactions and triboelectrification. TENGs provide countless benefits, together with cheap prices, straightforward processing, and broad enforceability. In solid interaction TENGs, wear and friction, moreover, abbreviate their life span. In this study, we assessed the tribological efficiency and power efficiency of polymeric in TENG devices with non-polar lubrication limiting friction and wear. The viscosity of the lubricant …

Triboelectric Charge Density Enhancement in Zinc Oxide Decorated Polymer Nanogenerators for Energy Harvesting Systems
Abstract: The growing need for wearable electronics, wireless sensor networks, and IoT devices has pushed research on triboelectric nanogenerator for long-term energy harvesting. However, traditional polymer-based TENGs' low triboelectric charge density restricts their energy conversion efficiency and practical performance. This research presents a zinc oxide (ZnO)-decorated polymer triboelectric nanogenerator designed to enhance surface charge density and improve electrical output. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and uniformly deposited onto …
