Spray-coated Inorganic Lead-free Double Perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 Based Large-scale Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Enhanced Energy Harvesting

Abstract

AbstractLow-cost, handily prepared, and efficient large-scale triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is considered as the new scheme for distributed mechanical conversion or renewable blue energy utilization. Semiconductors with high carrier mobility introduction potency overcome pure polymer restriction for uncompetitive short current density. An extremely popular all-inorganic lead-free double perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6(CABB) has emerged as extraordinary potential material in the substitution of semiconductor triboelectric material, which overcomes the limitations of high impedance associated with organic polymer insulator-based materials. In this current study, assembled by CABB which was certified as an available positive frictional material, TENG with a sandwiched structure of ITO/c-TiO2(compact TiO2)/m-TiO2(mesoporous TiO2)/CABB - the poly tetra fluoroethylene (PTFE)/Al exhibits appropriate performance on environmental stability and output capacity. A comparison of the fabrication process showed that spraying is an inexpensive method to prepare large-scale functional films of CABB TENG with brilliant relative dielectric constant and work function (Wf) difference that possess more distinguished output characteristics. This was confirmed by the appearance of higher open-circuit voltage of 105 V, larger short-current density of 2.45 mA/m2at 0.25 Hz motion parameter, and more abundant power density output of 0.76 W/m2under a higher frequency of 10 Hz. Further study clearly confirmed that both higher frequency and larger contact area are conducive to the total output power, while terminal charging speed is inversely or positively proportional with capacitance or mechanical frequency. The final physical display effect showed that spraying with CABB TENG could light up at least 53 commercial yellow LEDs, holding decent energy conversion ability. This confirms its efficiency, high throughput, and cost efficiency.
