- Abstract
Cellulose-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can provide power for various monitoring devices and are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Chemical functional modification is a common method to improve the electrical output performance of cellulose-based TENGs. In this work, an environmentally friendly high-performance triboelectric nanogenerator based on a polydopamine/cellulose nanofibril (PDA/CNF) composite membrane and fluorinated ethylene propylene was developed. Dopamine generates polydopamine nanoparticles through oxidative self-polymerization and adheres to the surface of nanofibers. The synergistic effect of amino group introduction and membrane surface microstructure effectively enhanced the output performance of TENGs to a certain extent. The effects of PDA content, CNF composite film thickness and different working conditions on the electrical output were systematically investigated. The optimized PDA/CNF-TENGs exhibited an enhanced electrical output performance with voltage, current, and power density values of ≈205 V, ≈20 µA, and ≈48.75 μW·cm−2, respectively. The PDA/CNF-TENGs exhibited stable and identifiable signals when used as a self-powered sensor for human motion monitoring, showing the potential prospects of cellulose materials for TENGS and other electronic applications.
