However, the electric output of TENGs decreases in environments with high relative humidity (RH), which restricts their application. The reason for this phenomenon is that charge transfer in most TENGs occurs through an electron pathway. By using gelatin/glycerol and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as triboelectric layers to construct a biocompatible TENG, we found that the electric output of the TENG can be maintained or is even enhanced at higher RH. The hydration of amino groups in gelatin resulted in additional charges (mobile ions) on the triboelectric layers during the contact electrification process, consequently increasing the electric output of the TENG. The electric output generated from the TENG increased 2-fold when the RH was increased from 20% to 60%. By using genipin to react with the amino groups in gelatin, the formation of mobile ions was blocked and the measured charge density on the triboelectric layers decreased as the RH gradually increased. We also demonstrated that the change of electric output generated from the TENG could be applied as a tool to detect RH, exhibiting the superior stability and durability of the TENG. This study also leads to a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of contact electrification when using protein as the triboelectric layer. |
