Abstract

A patchable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is highly promising for self-powered human-motion detection, but it may undergo repeated stretching/releasing cycles during daily activities of a human, which may lead to mechanical fracture of each component and degradation in electrical output performance of the TENG device. Here, we report a fully stretchable and durable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with gold (Au) nanosheets (NSs) embedded into both PDMS matrix and micropyramid-patterned PDMS. It was found that a new design of the Au NS electrodes dramatically improves the mechanical flexibility and stretchability, enabling to achieve the outstanding output stability of the Au NS electrode-based TENG (Au NS-TENG) during 10,000 cycles of repeated pushing and stretching tests. Our fully stretchable and durable Au NS-TENGs were successfully applied to the hand joints that can be used in the self-powered human-motion detection processes for wearable applications.
