Abstract

This work shows paper-based triboelectric generator development (TEG) with multifunctional capabilities. Monitoring techniques unveil consistent responses. Conventional TEG generates open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 10 V and short-circuit current (Isc) 64.14 μA. Electrochemical D-TEG achieves notable charge transfer and energy density (Ue) of about 3.88 μJ cm-2 at 0.1 M KCl. Ionic solid interface reduces internal resistance (Rin), contributed consistent ionic conductivities (σac), and maximum σac is observed at 0.1 M KCl. Thermal agitated T-TEG shows improved performance with maximum Voc of 1.23 V and Isc of 129 μA at 40 °C. Thermally directed Ag ink inscribed interdigitate structured (IDs) T-TEG exhibit improved Isc at temperature cycles. This study includes a detailed analysis of electron transfer mechanisms via energy band models in different environments, highlighting the solid ionic coupling effect on energy states and contact impedance. TEG can show potential in clinical diagnostic sensors, specifically ions recognition offering affordability and scalability.
