Optimisation of Triboelectric Nanogenerator performance in vertical contact-separation mode

The thesis was published by Min, Guanbo, in January 2022, University of Glasgow.

Abstract:

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is one of the most promising energy harvesters – a technology that uses repeated or reciprocating contact of suitably chosen materials to generate charge via the triboelectric effect (TE) and utilizes this as usable voltage and current. TENGs are attractive as they can continuously generate charge over a wide range of operating conditions and have several valuable advantages such as light weight, simple structure, low cost and high efficiency. Therefore, TENGs have been explored in a wide range of applications, including self-powered wearable electronics, powering electronics and even for harvesting ocean wave/wind energy. One of the major limitations of TENGs is their low power output (usually
