Abstract

This paper reports the novel design of a textile-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with alternate woven strips of positive and negative triboelectric material operating in freestanding triboelectric-layer mode (woven TENG). It was fabricated using processes that are compatible with standard textile manufacturing, including plain weaving and doctor blading. In contrast to the conventional grating structure TENGs, which can operate only in one moving direction, this new design allows the woven TENG to operate in all planar directions. The implementation of the positive and negative triboelectric material also significantly improves the performance of the woven TENG compared to the conventional all-direction TENGs
