A Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on a Pendulum-Plate Wave Energy Converter

Polish Maritime Research, 2022
Ocean waves are a promising source of renewable energy, but harvesting this irregular low-frequency energy is challenging due to technological limitations. In this paper, a pendulum plate-based triboelectric nanogenerator (PP-TENG) is proposed.
