Cost-effective triboelectric nanogenerator based on teflon tape and conductive copper foil tape

Abstract In recent years, paper-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was proposed. In order to reduce cost, a cost-effective and high output performance TENG can be developed by utilizing commercial and cheap materials. In this study, TENG based on paper is proposed by creating arch structure with the materials that can be commercially obtained, for example, teflon tape or conductive copper foil tape. Silicone paper on the conductive copper foil tape is adopted as both triboelectric component and supporting frame. The market available LEDs have been lit up by the electronic outputs. This work will promote the development of paper-based TENG in the electronics industry.
