摘要
As a promising energy harvesting technology, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has brought a leap forward to the development of self-powered systems. Many materials, especially inorganic non-metallic materials, proved to possess excellent triboelectric property, have rarely been practically used due to their fragility and rigidity. Here, fragile and rigid mica with strong triboelectric positivity is exfoliated into 2D nanosheets and electrospun into flexible and stretchable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofibers for high-performance TENGs. Paired with polyvinylidene fluoride/MXene (PVDF/MXene) nanofibers, the transferred charge of the TENG with TPU/mica nanofibers significantly enhanced to 82.4 nC from 38.6 nC due to the enhanced tribo-positivity. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) measurements of single pure TPU and TPU/mica nanofibers showed mica apparently enhanced the positive electrostatic surface potential (ESP) of TPU. The mean peak ESP of pure TPU nanofiber was about 194 mV, while it was increased to 218 mV on the regions of TPU/mica nanofiber without mica nanosheets aggregation and 305 mV on the regions where mica nanosheets aggregated. The power density of the TENG with TPU/mica nanofiber reached 1458 mW/m2, exhibiting a 16-fold enhancement compared with the one based on pure TPU nanofiber. A thin and flexible TENG was fabricated and conformally worn on a wrist and palm for body motion monition and object gripping sorting. This work proposed high-performance triboelectric nanogenerators based on TPU/mica nanofibers and a general approach to effectively utilize rigid and fragile materials with excellent triboelectric property for making triboelectric layers.
