Gd5Si4-PVDF nanocomposite films and their potential for triboelectric energy harvesting applications

The triboelectric energy generators prepared using the combination of self-polarized, high β-phase nanocomposite films of Gd5Si4-PVDF and polyamide-6 (PA-6) films have generated significantly higher voltage of ∼425 V, short-circuit current density of ∼30 mA/m2 and a charge density of ∼116.7 μC/m2 as...
