摘要
The triboelectric nanogenerator （TENG） has emerged as a new and effective mechanical energy harvesting technology. In this work, a theoretical model for a rotary-sliding disk TENG with grating structure was constructed, including the dielectric-to-dielectric and conductor-to-dielectric cases. The finite element method （FEM） was utilized to characterize the fundamental physics of the rotary- sliding disk TENG working in both contact and non-contact modes. The basic properties of disk TENG were found to be controlled by the structural parameters such as tribo-surface spacing, grating number, and geometric size. From the FEM calculations, an approximate V-Q-a relationship was built through the inter- polation method, and then the TENG dynamic output characteristics with arbitrary load resistance were numerically calculated. Finall~ the dependencies of output power and matched resistance on the structural parameters and rotation rate were revealed. The present work provides an in-depth understanding of the working principle of the rotary-sliding disk TENG and serves as important guidance for optimizing TENG output performance in specific applications.
