A triboelectric nanogenerator powered piezoresistive strain sensing technique insensitive to output variations

Guang Li et al.

Summary: In the era of IoTs, triboelectric nano-generators (TENGs) are widely researched for self-powered sensing due to their high efficiency, versatile configuration, and low cost. However, the inherent variation of TENG outputs limits their direct use as primary sensing signals. To solve this issue, a new method is proposed to extract the sensing signal that is independent of TENG output variations. This method accurately determines applied strain using the ratio of currents in two parallel branches, eliminating the effect of output variations and providing a self-powered sensing solution.

A highly stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator with both stretch-insensitive sensing and stretch-sensitive sensing

Hui Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a highly stretchable dual-mode triboelectric nanogenerator (SDTENG) with both stretch-insensitive sensing and stretch-sensitive sensing properties is proposed. By regional modulus modulation based on cross-linked interpenetrating network (IPN), our SDTENG shows almost the same pressure sensing property in the 120% stretch range, while the MXene/CNT electrode exhibits excellent strain sensitivity. The combination of stretch-insensitive pressure sensing and stretch-sensitive strain sensing makes our SDTENG a promising candidate for wearable devices and smart robots.

Color appearance shifts depending on surface roughness, illuminants, and physical colors

Youngjoo Chae

Summary: Texture is an important element in textile design, affecting the appearance of colors. This study analyzed the quantitative changes in color appearance under different textures and illumination conditions, and found that strong-textured fabrics have larger color appearance changes compared to non-textured papers. It was also observed that surface roughness differences larger than 0.43 mm can produce significant differences in color appearance changes induced by illumination.

A graphene nanoplatelets-based high-performance, durable triboelectric nanogenerator for harvesting the energy of human motion

Irfan Shabbir et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a new rolling type triboelectric nanogenerator (RL-TENG) that exhibits a lower crest factor compared to conventional contact-separation (CS) mode TENGs. By using a metal layer and graphene nanoplatelets-doped PDMS, the RL-TENG improves the dielectric constant and charge storage capacity, resulting in higher electrical output while minimizing surface damage. The RL-TENG achieved significantly higher peak voltage and peak current compared to a pristine TENG, and when combined with a dual-side double-belt TENG, even higher values were achieved. The RL-TENG was successfully used to harvest mechanical energy from the movement of the human elbow while walking, producing a high voltage output of up to 821V.
