Title

The Opportunities of Cellulose for Triboelectric Nanogenerators: A Critical Review.

Authors

Zhang, Renyun

Abstract

Engineering polymers stand out as the predominant dielectric materials in triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), primarily owing to their robust triboelectric effect and widespread availability. However, growing environmental concerns surrounding these polymers have prompted a notable shift towards exploring alternative eco-friendly materials, with cellulose materials emerging as compelling contenders over the past few years. Cellulose, derived from various sources and presented in diverse forms and structures, has found utility as triboelectric materials. In contrast to many engineering polymers known for their chemical stability, cellulose materials exhibit heightened chemical activities. This characteristic provides a unique opportunity to delve into fundamental questions in TENGs by manipulating the physical and chemical properties of cellulose materials. This concise critical review aims to thoroughly examine the applications of cellulose materials while shedding light on the opportunities presented by these versatile materials.
