Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of friction nanogenerator, and specifically relates to a preparation method of a full-biomass-based friction nanogenerator. BACKGROUND

[0002] A friction nanogenerator (TENG) is an energy conversion device based on the coupling effect of triboelectricity and electrostatic induction. The device is formed by the periodic contact and separation of two materials with different friction electrode polarities, which induces surface charge transfer and forms a potential difference, thereby driving the flow of electrons in an external circuit to generate alternating current. The core advantage of this technology is its strong material universality, which can use a variety of low-cost and easy-to-process organic or inorganic materials. With the advantages of miniaturization, high environmental compatibility and multi-scene applicability, TENG is expected to become the core component of the next generation of distributed micro-energy systems, promoting breakthroughs in self-driven technologies in the fields of intelligent sensing, clean energy and biomedicine.

[0003] Most of the positive and negative friction layer materials of traditional friction nanogenerators are made of non-degradable polymers such as polydimethylsiloxane, polytetrafluoroethylene, nylon, etc. These materials are chemically stable and difficult to naturally degrade after being discarded, which has brought a great burden to the environment. In recent years, the use of degradable materials to prepare friction nanogenerators has attracted widespread attention, such as Chinese patent application publication numbers CN110311586B, CN115882746A, CN116865591A and CN119210202A. These technical solutions can improve the environmental friendliness of friction nanogenerators.
