Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of self-powered fruit and vegetable freshness indication, and in particular relates to a paper-based triboelectric nanogenerator with a high-performance (high dielectric properties, high sensitivity, high stability, degradability, etc.) developed by a fully green production method, and its application in real-time detection of fruit and vegetable freshness. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, food safety issues have gradually attracted everyone's attention. During transportation, fruits may be oxidized and eroded by harmful microorganisms, resulting in rot and spoilage, which can endanger human health. Fresh fruits are still living individuals during transportation and storage, with respiration and metabolism. During transportation and storage, they continuously release water molecules, and the humidity inside the packaging environment increases continuously, accelerating fruit spoilage, reducing fruit freshness and nutrient content, and causing serious food waste. Monitoring the weight change of fruits is crucial for reflecting the quality status of fruits. However, detecting the freshness of fruits and vegetables through humidity sensor devices can provide consumers with an intuitive judgment to decide whether to purchase. Traditional humidity sensor devices often require an external power supply. However, commercial secondary batteries for recharge have fatal drawbacks, such as short lifespan, possible leakage or pollution of electrolytes, poor flexibility, etc., which seriously hinder the development of sensor devices towards being convenient, safe, and environmentally friendly. Collecting energy from the surrounding environment and converting it into electrical energy is widely regarded as a promising green and sustainable power solution. Mechanical energy widely present in the environment can easily be converted into electrical energy through many advanced technologies, such as electromagnetic effect, piezoelectric effect, and triboelectric effect, etc. In recent years, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a representative of advanced technologies for converting environmental energy into electrical energy. It has characteristics such as a wide range of material selection, high output performance, sustainability, and portability, which have established its position in the field of energy conversion and have broad application prospects. Based on triboelectrification and electrostatic induction, TENG can effectively convert the irregular and low-frequency mechanical energy of organisms in the natural environment into electrical energy. TENG is usually composed of triboelectric pairs of dielectric materials with different electron gain and loss abilities. So far, most of the materials used in TENG are synthetic polymers or metal electrodes. These polymers are usually non-biodegradable and have complex structures, thus limiting the development prospects of economically efficient, eco-friendly, and flexible TENG. Therefore, constructing high-performance TENG-based humidity detection devices using natural polymers has important guiding significance for the field of food safety.

[0003] Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural polymers on Earth, with excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and flexibility, which has made it the most promising triboelectric material for realizing environmentally friendly TENGs and attracted much attention in recent years. Each glucose unit in the cellulose molecule of cellulose fibers contains three hydroxyl groups, which endows cellulose-based materials with good chemical reaction properties. Cellulose paper easily loses electrons and becomes positively charged, but the fiber friction polarity is low and the surface charge density is low, resulting in a low output signal of TENG. To overcome the weak electron-donating property of the paper, commonly used methods include physical doping, surface morphology design, chemical grafting modification, etc. First, physical doping is a composite material formed by combining a high dielectric constant material with a matrix material, thereby improving the charge acquisition ability. Existing research has shown that by mixing cellulose with BaTiO3 nanoparticles and then crosslinking through epichlorohydrin, cellulose / BaTiO3 paper with a maximum V OC of 50 V was prepared. Secondly, surface morphology design is to increase the surface roughness of the triboelectric material, thereby increasing the contact area of the friction layer and generating more charges. It has been reported that the triboelectric charge density of a material is determined by the potential difference between the surfaces of the triboelectric materials, and chemical grafting modification can adjust the surface potential of the triboelectric materials. Existing research has shown that by reacting CNFs with a mixture of dimethyl sulfate and nitrating acid respectively, methyl and nitro groups were introduced onto the cellulose, and nitrated and methylated CNFs films were successfully prepared, and the triboelectric surface potential was increased by 4-6 times, effectively improving the output performance of cellulose-based TENGs. However, these methods usually have the disadvantages of using a large amount of chemical reagents, high requirements for equipment, cumbersome operation, and time-consuming. Therefore, exploring simple and green processing methods to improve the polarity of cellulose-based tribo-nanomaterials plays a crucial role in constructing green TENGs.

[0004] Xylanase is a general term for a group of enzymes that can specifically degrade hemicellulose xylan into xylooligosaccharides and xylose. The complete degradation of xylan can only be achieved through the synergistic action of multiple enzymes, among which endo-xylanase and exo-xylosidase play a major role. Under mild conditions of 45-55 °C, pH 4.8-5.0, and 150 rpm, KDN06 xylanase can effectively enzymatically hydrolyze the hemicellulose component in natural cellulose fibers into monosaccharides and leave a microscopically rough structure in the original position. In addition, enzymes are mainly composed of amino acid molecules and contain rich electron-donating groups -NH2. According to the literature, introducing -NH2 on the cellulose surface is beneficial to improving the frictional polarity and surface charge density of cellulose. Theoretically, enzymatic hydrolysis treatment of natural cellulose fibers will effectively improve the output signal of cellulose-based TENG without affecting its biocompatibility and skin affinity. Moreover, the enzymes remaining on the cellulose surface have rich polar groups, can adsorb water molecules, and aggregate on the surface layer of the contact layer to form a water film. As the water evaporates, it accelerates the dissipation of surface charges, and then the water content in the environment and the freshness of fruits can be effectively monitored through changes in electrical signals. To our knowledge, there has been no report on using an enzymatic hydrolysis green treatment method under mild conditions to improve the output electrical signal of cellulose paper-based TENG and explore its application in the field of self-powered fruit and vegetable freshness detection.
