AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing triboelectric nanogenerators struggle to provide stable power in deep-sea environments, especially under high pressure and low flow conditions, making it difficult to effectively harvest water flow energy.

Method used

A titanium dioxide-doped polyvinylidene fluoride film is used as the negative friction layer, combined with a single oil layer design, and the mechanical structure of the nanogenerator is optimized to adapt to the deep-sea environment through a combination of a guide plate, a triangular blunt body and a frustum base.

Benefits of technology

In the high-pressure and complex flow environments of the deep sea, nanogenerators can provide stable power, expanding the application areas of seabed sensors and providing clean energy support.

Abstract

This invention discloses a deep-sea nanogenerator, its fabrication method, and a water flow energy harvesting device. The nanogenerator has a symmetrical structure, comprising, from top to bottom, a sequentially stacked encapsulation film layer, an electrode layer, a positive friction film layer, an oil layer, a negative friction film layer, another electrode layer, and an encapsulation film layer. The electrode layer is connected to a wire. The negative friction film layer is a titanium dioxide-doped polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film. This invention uses a titanium dioxide-doped PVDF film as the negative friction layer to improve the mechanical properties of the nanogenerator, adapting it to the high-pressure working environment of the deep sea. It employs a single oil-air layer and reduces the oil content in the oil layer to improve the performance output of the nanogenerator under deep-sea pressure. This water flow energy harvesting device can still provide stable power supply in high-pressure deep-sea environments with low water flow velocities; it can also operate normally under hydrostatic pressure of 20 MPa.
