Abstract

We analytically calculated the instantaneous maximum power from contact-mode triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to inspect parametric dependencies, especially resistance and permittivity on the system power. Here, a uniform movement of the upper electrode at a constant velocity is assumed. The numerical results show that the power associated with device performance can be optimized using a dielectric constant as a given material characteristic with the resistor.
