A Controlled Biodegradable Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on PEGDA/Laponite Hydrogels.

Implantable and wearable transient electronics based on nanogenerators have been applied in self-powered sensing, electrical-stimulation therapy, and other fields. However, the existing devices have a poor ability to match with the shapes of human tissues, and the degradation processes cannot meet individual needs. In this work, a PEGDA/Lap nanocomposite hydrogel was prepared that was based on biocompatible polyglycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and laponite, and a biodegradable single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerator (BS-TENG) was built. The PEGDA/Lap hydrogel has enhanced flexibility and mechanical and electrical performance. Its strain was 1001.8%, and the resistance was 10.8. The composite hydrogel had a good biocompatibility and could effectively promote the adhesion of cells. The BS-TENG could be used as a self-powered device to light an LED and serve as an active sensor for real-time monitoring of breath and various human movements. More importantly, the device could be degraded controllably without any harm. Therefore, BS-TENGs will be mainstream in diagnosis and treatment and play an important role in biomedical science.
