Development of suspended structure-based wind-driven triboelectric nanogenerator

Professor Jongbaeg Kim's research team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering developed a wind-driven triboelectric nanogenerator, and this research was published in the journal 'Nano Energy' in June 2022. In this study, as a method to harvest energy at low wind speed, a nanogenerator using a cylindrical shell structure self-suspended by Coulomb attraction between two charged materials was proposed. It was shown that the nanogenerator can be used as an energy source for small electronic devices and as a self-powered wind monitoring sensor.
