Enhancing voltage output in triboelectric nanogenerators through SmFeO3 concentration in PVDF and UV-light exposure
摘要
The present work deals with the improved output voltage characteristics of Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) devices with the incorporation of SmFeO3-PVDF as a layer and exposure with UV radiation. A constant concentration of TiO2 (4 wt%) and two devices with varying SmFeO3 (1 wt% and 2 wt%) concentrations were examined. The findings demonstrate that larger SmFeO3 concentrations result in higher voltage outputs. Device 1 containing 1 wt% SmFeO3 achieved a voltage output of 99.6 V without UV and 111.3 V with UV exposure, while device 2 with 2 wt% SmFeO3 content produced a voltage output of 105.5 V without UV and 123.0 V with UV exposure. This implies that a greater SmFeO3 concentration causes more charges to be generated and separated, which raises the output voltage. Consequently, by taking advantage of this phenomenon, greater voltage outputs may be produced and a better TENG device may be designed.
