Enhancing Output Performance of Triboelectric Nanogenerator via Charge Clamping (Adv. Energy Mater. 31/2021)

Triboelectric Nanogenerators In article number 2101356, Tinghai Cheng, Zhong Lin Wang, and co-workers enhance the output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators via charge clamping (CC-TENG). The fabricated device consists of a mechanical-switch direct-current TENG, charge clamping module (CCM), and main-TENG. The accumulated charges flow in the loop circuit formed by the main-TENG and CCM, achieving an enhancement in the output performance.
