Abstract

The triboelectric nanogenerator shows a broad application potential in wind energy collection and wind speed sensing. However, it is difficult to realize wind energy collection and real-time wind speed monitoring in one simple device without external power support. Here, a high-performance dual-mode triboelectric nanogenerator is proposed to simultaneously collect wind energy efficiently and monitor wind speed in real time, which is composed by an alternating current triboelectric nanogenerator (AC-TENG) and a direct-current triboelectric nanogenerator (DC-TENG). Based on the material optimization, the charge density of the AC-TENG improves by a factor of 1 compared with previous works. Moreover, benefiting…
