title: A wave-shaped hybrid piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerator based on P(VDF-TrFE) nanofibers.
abstract: A wave-shaped hybrid nanogenerator (NG) with mutually enhanced piezoelectric and triboelectric output is presented in this work. By sandwiching piezoelectric P(VDF-TrFE) nanofibers between wave-shaped Kapton films, the device forms a three-layer structure, which can generate piezoelectric and triboelectric outputs simultaneously in one press and release cycle. Through systematic situational analysis and experimental validation, the three-layer structure can achieve obvious improvement of the output performance for both parts. When triggered with 4 Hz external force, the piezoelectric part generates a peak output and current of 96 V and 3.8 μA, which is ∼2 times higher than its initial output. Meanwhile, the performance of triboelectric parts also increases 8 V and 16 V with the assistance of piezoelectric potential. The enhanced high output enables the hybrid nanogenerator to instantaneously light up LEDs and charges capacitors quickly, which shows extensive application prospects in the field of self-powered systems or sensor networks.
