  • Publication number: 20210066396
    Abstract: A self-powered and flexible photodetector system includes a triboelectric nanogenerator, TENG, device configured to generate an electrical current from a mechanical movement; a photodetector, PD, sensor, formed on the TENG device and configured to detect a light; and a voltage regulating circuit electrically connected to the TENG device and the PD sensor and configured to regulate a voltage provided by TENG device to the PD sensor. The PD sensor and the TENG device are flexible.

  • Publication number: 20200358373
    Abstract: A triboelectric photodetector system that includes a triboelectric device configured to generate an electrical current based on a mechanical movement, the triboelectric device having a first compounded layer and a second compounded layer partially separated by a gap; a photodetector, PD, sensor formed on the triboelectric device and configured to transform light energy into electrical energy with a perovskite layer; a first electrical connection that electrically connects a first electrode of the PD sensor to the first compounded layer of the triboelectric device; and a second electrical connection that electrically connects a second electrode of the PD sensor to the second compounded layer of the triboelectric device. The triboelectric device electrically biases the PD sensor to facilitate electrical carrier extraction from the perovskite layer of the PD sensor.
