Abstract

Provided are a triboelectric nanogenerator harvesting liquid mechanical energy and an electricity generation method. The triboelectric nanogenerator comprises an electricity generation component on an insulation substrate (10) and a friction layer (30) covering the electricity generation component. The electricity generation component is constituted of two electrode layers (21, 22) separately arranged along a liquid fluctuating direction and electrically connected to each other. When the liquid fluctuates or flows, a friction occurs between it and the friction layer, such that the friction layer surface in contact with the liquid carries charges. As the liquid fluctuates or flows, the charges on the friction layer surfaces corresponding to the two electrode layers are successively shielded by ions in the liquid such that an induced charge flow is produced between the two electrode layers. The two electrode layers do not need to move as the liquid fluctuates so as to ensure the service life of the electricity generator. The electricity generator has a light weight, a small volume, a simple structure, and a low manufacturing cost, and is easily produced on a large scale and mounted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a triboelectric nanogenerator, in particular to a triboelectric nanogenerator and a power generation method for converting the fluctuation or flow energy of liquid into electrical energy. Background technique [0002] Liquid fluctuations or flow energy in the environment are ubiquitous. At present, the main way to use liquid fluctuations or flow energy to generate electricity is to set flexible piezoelectric materials in the liquid, especially low-dimensional carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and multilayer graphene. The shape of the piezoelectric material fluctuates under the action of the flow of a polar liquid to generate an electric potential. In the existing design, this eel-like reciprocating motion brings difficulties for the device to work for a long time due to mechanical fatigue, especially the life of the electrode, which can be improved by limiting the properties of the material and the ion concentratio...
