Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of flexible wearable devices and the intensification of the energy crisis, multifunctional self-powered flexible sensors have emerged. As a new type of sensor based on contact electrification and electrostatic induction, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has broad application prospects in the fields of self-powered sensing, micro-nano power sources, and blue energy. Currently, the base materials of triboelectric self-powered flexible sensors are mostly synthetic polymers with excellent flexibility and ductility. However, when flexible circuits are in operation, they generate and accumulate Joule heat, which makes them uncomfortable to wear and even poses the risk of skin burns. In addition, they are harmful to the environment when buried or incinerated as electronic waste.

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms and expressions should be understood in a broad sense, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms and expressions in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0018] Leather is a polymer material with a natural hierarchical pore structure. It offers advantages such as renewability, comfort, and biodegradability, making it ideally suited for the substrate materials required for flexible smart wearables. While numerous leather-based multifunctional wearable electronics have been reported over the past decade, reports of leather-based wearable materials with both self-powered sensing and radiative cooling capabilities remain limited. Fluorinated caged silsesquioxanes (FPOSS) are a class of organic-inorganic hybrid materials with a highly symmetrical nanoscale cubic cage skeleton. Their core inorganic framework is composed of Si-O-Si, exhibiting high infrared emissivity in the long-wave infrared region (8-13 μm), and the periphery contains abundant electron-withdrawing groups (-F).

[0019] The present invention proposes using leather, which has advantages such as good flexibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, as a sensing material. FPOSS is selected to modify leather collagen fibers, and the -F groups on FPOSS are utilized to enhance the electron-absorbing ability of the leather, thereby improving its triboelectric sensing performance. The high infrared emissivity of the abundant Si-O-Si bonds in FPOSS in the long-wave infrared region (8-13 μm) is utilized to impart radiative cooling properties to the leather, thereby obtaining a leather-based triboelectric self-powered sensor with thermal management function.

[0020] The method for preparing the leather-based triboelectric self-powered sensor with thermal management function of the present invention is specifically implemented according to the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: dissolving FPOSS in deionized water to obtain a FPOSS solution, adding leather to the FPOSS solution, and shaking at 25°C and 10.5 r / min for 2-4 hours to obtain a mixed solution. After the shaking, sodium bicarbonate solution is added to the mixed solution every 15 minutes until the pH reaches 3.0-4.0, and then the mixture is heated to 40°C and reacted for 30-40 minutes to obtain FPOSS-modified leather;

[0022] Step 2: Use FPOSS-modified leather as the triboelectric negative layer, nylon 66 film as the triboelectric positive layer, and copper as the electrode layer to construct a leather-based triboelectric self-powered sensor with thermal management function.

[0023] Sensitivity characterization of leather modified with FPOSS ( Figure 1 ) and outdoor radiant cooling performance ( Figure 2 ) Based on the advantages of leather's flexibility, hygiene and good mechanical properties, the present invention introduces FPOSS into leather through leather wet processing technology, thereby enhancing the leather's electron-absorbing ability and improving its triboelectric sensing performance. At the same time, the high infrared emissivity of the abundant Si-O-Si bonds in FPOSS in the long-wave infrared region (8-13 μm) is utilized to give the leather radiative cooling properties, and prepare FPOSS-modified leather with high mid-infrared emissivity. It is used as the tribo-negative layer and the nylon 66 film as the tribo-positive layer to construct a leather-based triboelectric self-powered sensor with both high output and radiative cooling performance. The sensor has extremely high sensitivity (7.17 V / kPa) and can achieve daytime radiative cooling of 8°C.
