Performance enhancement of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has been largely limited by the relatively low output current density. Thus, extensive research efforts have been made to increase the output current density. In this respect, this work presents a method to effectively increase output current density of TENGs by adopting polarized ferroelectric polymers and MoS₂ composite. Specifically, by compositing bulk MoS₂ flakes with both Nylon-11 and PVDF-TrFE, respectively, charge density of each triboelectric charging surface was significantly increased. In addition, proper polarization of both ferroelectric composite layers has also led to an additional increase in the charge density. A combination of them synergistically increases the surface charge density, generating huge output current and the power output density. By optimizing the fabrication process, the output voltage and current density up to ∼145 V …
