Theoretical study of contact-mode triboelectric nanogenerators: Analytical and numerical study for x = vt+1/2at(2)

Abstract

An analytical and numerical analysis on contact-mode triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) was carried out in this work. Based on the analytical model, the time-dependent transferred charge and the relationship between the transferred charge and accelerated velocity were numerically analyzed. The approach used here is the general interpretation of the contact-mode TENG for the time-dependent transferred charge, which can be used as a guidance for a practical design of the TENG system.
