Abstract

The rapid development of wearable electronic devices (such as in applications for health care monitoring, intelligent sports, and human–computer interaction) has led to a huge demand for sustainable energy. However, the existing equipment cannot meet the requirements of energy harvesting, wearable sensing, and environmental protection concurrently. Herein, by an environmentally friendly in situ gap-generation method and doping technology, we have manufactured an Ecoflex–PVDF composite material as a negative triboelectric layer and used gas as a support layer for the triboelectric nanogenerator (EPGS-TENG). The device has excellent electrical output performance and working stability (pressure sensitivity of 7.57 V/N, angle response capacity of 374%, output power of 121 μW, temperature adaptability from 20 °C to 40 °C, durability over 3 h, and stability of 10 days). EPGS-TENG can meet the requirements of biomechanical energy collection and wearable self-powered sensing simultaneously. EPGS-TENG shows great application potential for the new generation of wearable devices.
