Plant-protein-enabled biodegradable triboelectric nanogenerator for sustainable agriculture

• The “triboelectric series” of various plant proteins is first ranked Plan protein as a by-product recycled triboelectric material This the mechanism exploration in field TENG A fully biodegradable was designed to be used novel mulch film can create new path enhance crop yield and quality As use nanogenerators (TENGs) increases, generation related electronic waste has been major challenge. Therefore, development environmentally friendly, biodegradable, low-cost TENGs must prioritized. Having discovered that proteins, by-products grain processing, possess excellent properties, we explore these properties by evaluating structure. are fabricate layers, series according electrical determined for time. Using special structure design, construct plant-protein-enabled integrating polylactic acid film, which type growth-promoting system generates space electric fields agriculture. Thus, from crop, sustainable recycling loop implemented. bean seedlings model confirm feasibility further it cultivation greenhouse vegetables. Experimental results demonstrate applicability proposed
