A Wideband Triboelectric Energy Harvester
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2013 Contact electrification or triboelectric charging has mostly been seen as a negative phenomenon in various engineering applications. In electronic applications, static charge buildup may even destroy some of the components. In this paper, we demonstrate a cantilever based design using triboelectric charging mechanism for energy harvesting applications.
