Timing strategy for boosting energy extraction from triboelectric nanogenerators

William Harmon et al.

Summary: An unexpected additional energy generation by the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is discovered in this work, due to its capacitive behavior. By acting as a capacitor in parallel with a temporary storage capacitor in a power management system, the TENG contributes an additional amount of energy proportional to its capacitance, leading to unexpectedly high output power. The optimal timing for energy transfer is when the separation distance between the triboelectric surfaces approaches 0.

Generalized Weisskopf-Wigner model of triboelectroluminescence

Lok C. Lew Yan Voon et al.

Summary: The phenomenon of triboelectroluminescence is studied through a generalized model of spontaneous emission in an electronic two-level system, resulting in irreversible and exponential charge transfer. Efficiency of charge transfer depends on the separation of linear atomic chains and temperature. Triboelectroluminescence is more efficient with larger energy separation in electron states of two materials, but decays rapidly with distance. Temperature variations have little effect when electrons come from insulators or surface states, but have an impact when they come from partially-filled bands due to thermal excitation.
