Triboelectric Nanogenerator Textile Characterisation
topic
Triboelectric textile characterisation measures short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and transferred charge density generated when fabric surfaces with contrasting triboelectric polarity are brought into contact and separated under defined conditions, expressing power output as a function of contact frequency, force, and load resistance.
Role
Quantifies the mechanical energy harvesting capability of motion-driven triboelectric textile generators for powering wearable sensors and flexible electronics from body movement, enabling material pair selection and fabric structure optimisation to maximise output power per unit garment area.
