All-inorganic triboelectric nanogenerators based on Mo6S3I6 and indium tin oxide

Triboelectrification can occur between any two materials with different charge affinities. This phenomenon represents the fundamental physics of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Organic such as polymers have been widely used in TENGs because their dielectric properties. Inorganic are, however, not studied despite increasing attention paid to perovskite materials. In this paper, a new type TENG has fabricated based only on inorganic Mo6S3I6 and indium tin oxide (ITO). The output power density operating contact-separation mode reaches 18 W m−2. Mechanisms high involve unique semiconducting property chemical composition ITO. findings study indicate that be for fabricating high-output energy harvesting.
