Abstract:
Provided is a self-repairing energy generating element using a shape memory polymer, including a first electrode; a shape memory friction layer made of the shape memory polymer on the first electrode and having a microbump pattern formed on a surface thereof; a second electrode disposed apart from the shape memory friction layer; and an opposing layer formed on the second electrode and configured to face the shape memory friction layer.
Abstract:
A triboelectric energy harvester comprises an electrode, a non-conductor, a first conductor, and a second conductor. The non-conductor is disposed on the electrode. The first conductor is disposed on the non-conductor. The second conductor frictionally contacts the first conductor. The frictional contact between the first and second conductors creates triboelectric energy.
