Dongguk University Develops Gel-Based Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Wearables

This nanogenerator overcomes limitations of traditional electrode materials, offering flexibility and long-lasting performance for wearable applications.

Imagine a future where your clothes power your devices and recognize you with a simple tap. Researchers at Dongguk University have developed a gel polymer-based triboelectric nanogenerator that generates electrical signals from body movement to power electronics like LEDs and functions as a self-powered touch panel for user identification. The device can stretch up to 375% of its original size and withstand rigorous mechanical deformations, making it suitable for wearable applications. From s...
