TY - JOUR AU - Choi, Ken AB - Summary In this report, we present a simple approach to fabricate the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)‐based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) that can be effectively harvest irregular mechanical energy and the energy used to drive a small commercial electronic component. The device exhibited the maximum open‐circuit voltage and short‐circuit current of 6.3 V and 0.635 μA respectively, with maximum output power of 178 nW. In addition, we measured the performance of the fabricated device with different load resistance. Finally, the fabricated PDMS‐based triboelectric nanogenerator can directly drive 10 commercial LEDs connected in series, when the force is applied to the device through finger. These results demonstrate the potential application of PDMS‐based triboelectric nanogenerator for self‐powered systems. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
