Continuous and Scalable Manufacture of Hybridized Nano-Micro Triboelectric Yarns for Energy Harvesting and Signal Sensing

Abstract

) was achieved by applying a 2.5 Hz mechanical drive of 5 N. Importantly, the triboelectric yarns can identify textile materials according to their different electron affinity energies. In addition, the triboelectric yarns are compatible with traditional textile technology and can be woven into a high-density plain fabric for harvesting biomechanical energy and are also competent for monitoring tiny signals from humans or insects.
