Phys.org September 5, 2023 Researchers in China demonstrated highly elastic, and pressure-resistance sponge fabricated TENG capable of adapting to high strength impact in land and water transportation and scalable for any shape for harvesting wave energy and mechanical energy. The sponge had interconnected network and large size ratio of cavity-wall suitable for contact and separation enabled higher output due to the combination of the electronegativity, adhesion, and antioxidant ability. The operation modes provided options for different operating condition and enabled higher output due to the combination of the electronegativity, excellent adhesion, and antioxidant ability… read more.

Tracking firefighters in burning buildings
Science Daily March 1, 2019 An international team of researchers (Canada, USA – UCLA, Czech Republic, Sweden) has developed a fire-retardant and self-extinguishing triboelectric nanogenerator (FRTENG), which can be utilized as a motion sensor and/or power generator in occupations such as oil drilling, firefighting or working in extreme temperature environments with flammable and combustible materials. The device takes advantage of the excellent thermal properties of carbon derived from resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogel. The FRTENG is not flammable, shows exceptional charge transfer characteristics, leading to a potential difference up to 80 V and a current density up to 25 µA/m2. When integrated into firefighter’s shoes, the […]
