Realization of enhanced sound-driven CNT-based triboelectric nanogenerator, utilizing sonic array configuration
In brief
A sound-powered energy harvester whose output is boosted by placing it inside a cavity of steel slabs that traps the acoustic wave.
Key results- Carbon nanotube electrodes increase the effective surface area.
- A 1D phononic crystal of five steel slabs resonates near 4.3 kHz.
- About 4× higher output voltage and 7× higher output power inside the sonic array.
