Abstract

---

Triboelectric/Ferroelectret nanogenerators have attracted our interest after works done by Xi and Sepulveda, where seminal production processes of implementing PTFE into working devices are presented. The material setup and complexity of those processes inhibit widespread adoption of nanogenerator-type of devices. In this work, research into lowcost, PET-based hybrid patterned nanogenerators is presented. A novel structure for the optimization of power retrieval from the electret material is presented with numerical analysis, first experiments and total cost overview, being a combination of discharge and generative effects. An outlook into cheap manufacturing of such materials is presented as conclusion.
