Metal-free and non-fluorine paper-based generator

Abstract Paper-based generator which can be integrated into traditional paper packaging process flows is particularly desirable. In this study, we reported a novel metal-free, non-fluorine, foldable paper-based electret generator based on electrostatic effect. The power generating process was carefully studied by a finite element simulation and numerical calculation in this report. The paper-based generator stimulated by human motion could drive a commercial liquid crystal display (LCD), showing its potential application in anti-counterfeit label. Moreover, a multiple-fold paper-based generator was also fabricated, and the enhancement of the area output is demonstrated. Therefore, the paper-based electret generator can effectively accumulate the irregular energy and extend the applications for paper electronics.
