摘要
Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a novel energy harvesting device to convert mechanical energy into electricity based on the universally known triboelectric principle. In this work, we demonstrated an innovative design of single-electrode TENG (S-TENG) using PDMS to simulate the tire surfaces for scavenging the wasted friction energy from rolling tires. By fixing the PDMS S-TENG on a rubber wheel, the performance of scavenging friction energy was systematically investigated. The electric output of the S-TENG-on-wheel monotonically increased with the increase of the moving speed and weight load of the wheel. The maximum instantaneous power was obtained to be 1.79 mW at a load resistance of 10 M Omega, corresponding to the highest energy conversion efficiency of 10.4%. Multiple S-TENGs were implemented to the tires of a toy vehicle and instantaneously powered 6 commercial green light emitting diodes (LEDs) while the vehicle was moving on the ground. This successful demonstration provides a promising solution to scavenge the wasted friction energy from rolling tires, which may improve the fuel efficiency or the cruising ability of electric vehicles.
