Lawn Structured Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Scavenging Sweeping Wind Energy on Rooftops

Abstract

A novel triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is designed, based on flexible and transparent vertical-strip arrays, for environmental wind-energy harvesting. Given the low cost, simple structure, and wide applicability, the TENGs present a green alternative to traditional methods used for large-scale wind-energy harvesting.
