A fluorescent triboelectric nanogenerator manufactured with a flexible janus nanobelt array concurrently acting as a charge-generating layer and charge-trapping layer

Abstract

phen ensures the strong fluorescence of TENF-JNA, and this fluorescence can be used to judge whether TENF-JNA works normally or is out of order in a dark environment. TENG-JNA possesses other compelling features, such as prominent flexibility, good hydrophobicity, durability and light weight, which provides the premise for TENG-JNA to be used as a flexible device in a wet environment or for warning functions. The Janus nanobelt was firstly used to assemble a TENG, which provides theoretical, material and technical support for the development of new building units of TENGs and paves a pathway for designing and assembling new TENGs.
