ABSTRACT
This work reveals the correlation between the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and the characteristics of deformable solid-state ionic conductors (referred to as ionogels). For this purpose, we modify ionogel characteristics by incorporating additional plasticizers (propylene carbonate) and solid salts (lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) into the ionogels. We conclude that the high capacitance of the ionogel is crucial for achieving a high-performance TENG platform. The optimized ionogel-based TENG (i-TENG) exhibits a power density of â¼372.4 mW·m-2 (based on 95 V and 36 mA·m-2 outputs) with outstanding long-term stability over 2 weeks. Additionally, successful demonstrations of wearable nanogenerators are performed by leveraging the high stretchability (up to â¼1000%) and optical transparency (â¼90%) of the ionogels. Overall, the results provide insight into the design of deformable ionic conductors for high-performance, reliable, and wearable TENGs.
