Abstract

Highlights: PPC and PAG was introduced as a novel material for TENG for the first time. PPC and PAG was proven to be a promising material for TENG and brings advantage of fast termination of functionality. Household material, such as paper and Teflon, are employed to construct TENG. Abstract: A simple and cost-effective paper-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) using polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and photoacid generator (PAG) is proposed in this work. Paper is used as the supporting platform for triboelectric friction between commercial Teflon tape and PAG-PPC. The PAG-PPC layer is proved to be a novel and promising material for TENG, and brings fast termination of functionality of TENG after thermal triggering. The proposed TENG has potential application in transient sensor networks.
