2D Materials-based Electrochemical Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Giuseppina Pace et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was developed using few-layer graphene (FLG) electrodes and gel electrolytes. The TENGs with FLG and gel composites exhibited competitive open-circuit voltage, peak power, and long-term stability, showing a significant improvement compared to TENGs with bare FLG electrodes. It was found that the high electrical double-layer capacitance (EDLC) of FLG electrodes functionalized with gel composites played a key role in this improvement. This work provides a foundation for the development of sustainable electrochemical TENGs using strategies commonly used in electrochemical capacitors.
