New power density record for fully green Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs)

This article is part of a news series where we highlight the latest research from our Treesearch partners and within the Treesearch thematic research areas. Articles are published on a regular basis.    Triboelectric nanogenerators – so-called TENGs – have received increasing attention for their broad usage in energy harvesting devices as well as their […]

New “world record” in tribo electricity

By using the phenomenon of triboelectricity, researchers have been able to utilize frictional forces between two cellulose surfaces to generate electricity. – No one has previously been able to show a similar result, which is why we, a little cocky perhaps, can call it a new “world record” for cellulose materials, says Renyun Zhang, associate […]
