Assessment of environmental and mechanical factors affecting cement-based triboelectric nanogenerators: Stability and durability

Cement-based triboelectric nanogenerators (CBTENGs) offer a transformative pathway toward self-powering and intelligent transportation infrastructure by harvesting mechanical energy from pavement surfaces. However, their practical deployment requires a comprehensive understanding of their environmental and mechanical durability and adaptability. This study presents the first systematic durability assessment of CBTENGs under combined environmental and mechanical interferences, investigating their stability under diverse service conditions, including temperature, relative humidity, freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycling, acid attack, abrasion, dynamic impact loading, and fatigue. The results reveal that output current…
