Patent number: 12463559Abstract: A switchable triboelectric nanogenerator (s-TENG) which obtains energy by utilizing the electrostatic potential between water droplets and frictional surfaces. The s-TENG device includes an ITO film substrate as an electrode, a SU-8 mold grid located on the ITO film substrate and forming an array of air gaps as an air breakdown region, and a FEP film on the SU-8 mold grid as the surface of the friction layer. A water source is variably positioned at a distance from and at an angle to the s-TENG device so that water droplets contact the friction layer, so that direct current is obtained without the use of a rectifier due to electrostatic induction causing break down in the air breakdown region of the SU-8 mold grid.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2023Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONGInventors: Dongmyeong Shin, Jiaming Zhou, Eunjong Kim, Xiaoting Ma, Jingyi Gao
