Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Charge Pumping for Sliding‐mode Triboelectric Nanogenerator with Voltage Stabilization and Boosted Current (Adv. Energy Mater. 28/2021)

In article number 2101147, Linhong Ji, Zhong Lin Wang, Jia Cheng and co-workers develop a novel sliding charge pumping technology which utilizes the unfixed charges shuttling between a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and a commercial capacitor to generate electricity. This stabilizes the voltage and boosts the current of the TENG. The triboelectrification and pumping charges cooperatively elevate its surface charge density, contributing to enhancing the output performance of the TENG.
