Resumen

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), which convert mechanical energy (such as ocean waves) from the surrounding environment into electrical energy, have been identified as a green energy alternative for addressing the environmental issues resulting from the use of traditional energy resources. In this experimental design, we propose rolling spherical triboelectric nanogenerators (RS-TENG) for collecting energy from low-frequency ocean wave action. Copper and aluminum were used to create a spherical frame which functions as the electrode. In addition, different sizes of spherical dielectric (SD1, SD2, SD3, and SD4) were developed in order to compare the dielectric effect on output performance. This design places several electrodes on each side of the spherical structure such that the dielectric layers are able to move with the slightest oscillation and generate electrical energy. The performance of the RS-TENG was experimentally investigated, with the results indicating that the spherical dielectrics significantly impact energy harvesting performance. On the other hand, the triboelectric materials (i.e., copper and aluminum) play a less important role. The copper RS-TENG with the largest spherical dielectrics is the most efficient structure, with a maximum output of 12.75 V in open-circuit and a peak power of approximately 455 nW.
