Abstract
A cloth-base
wearable triboelectric nanogenerator made of nylon
and Dacron fabric was fabricated for harvesting body motion energy.
Through the friction between forearm and human body, the generator
can turn the mechanical energy of an arm swing into electric energy
and power an electroluminescent tubelike lamp easily. The maximum
output current and voltage of the generator reach up to 0.2 mA and
2 kV. Furthermore, this generator can be easily folded, kneaded, and
cleaned like a common garment
