Wearable triboelectric nanogenerator using a plasma-etched PDMS–CNT composite for a physical activity sensor

Abstract

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have recently shown promising potential as effective energy harvesters using human motion energy. We propose a flexible TENG with a fluorocarbon plasma-etched polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–carbon nanotube (CNT).
