This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Triboelectric Energy Harvesting (TENG) 2017-2027. Triboelectricity has been known for thousands of years as a nuisance or trick. It is the creation of electrostatic charges on the surfaces of two dissimilar materials when they touch. Then, in 2012, triboelectric energy harvesting was invented based on those charges generating a potential drop when the two surfaces are separated by a mechanical force. This can drive electrons to flow between the two electrodes built on the top and bottom surfaces of the two materials. Repeated reciprocating movement generates AC power convertible into useful power with power conditioning circuits. This is the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG).
Progress has been faster than with any other form of energy harvesting. Power density reached 500Wm-2. Instantaneous conversion efficiency reached 70%. Total energy conversion efficiency reached 85%. Potential applications include creating useful electrical power from human motion, walking, vibration, mechanical triggering, rotating tires, wind, flowing water and even wave power. Self-powered sensors have been tested. Indeed, a plausible case has been made for TENG uses from microwatts to megawatts, a virtuosity rivalled only by electrodynamics, photovoltaics and potentially magnetostriction. Unfortunately nothing is on sale yet due to issues of reliability, life and unpredictability. However, there are large opportunities for added-value materials if success comes. This presentation looks at the research and potential and forecasts the market and positioning against competing technologies, including:
- Where triboelectric fits in technically: active materials opportunities
- TENG operational options compared for commercialisation
- Usefulness comparison with the winners: electrodynamics, photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics
- New interviews with global experts
- IDTechEx conclusions
