Triboelectric nanogenerator and operation method thereof

Abstract

A triboelectric nanogenerator includes first and second stacks and an electricity meter. The first stack includes a first conductive layer and an amino acid layer. The second stack is disposed over the first stack and includes a negative friction layer and a second conductive layer disposed on the negative friction layer. The electricity meter is electrically connected to the first and second conductive layers. Another triboelectric nanogenerator includes an encapsulation container, a filler, an electrode, a wire, and an electricity meter. The encapsulation container has an accommodating space and a friction layer. The filler is contained in the accommodating space. The filler includes water, an electrolyte, or a liquid metal. The electrode penetrates through the encapsulation container and contacts the filler. The wire is electrically connected to the electrode and has a grounded end. The electricity meter is disposed on the wire.
