  • Testing the device's electrical output (voltage, current density) across a range of humidity levels.
  • Comparison of performance with flat film-based TENGs.

Main Results:

  • Successful demonstration of a hydrophobic sponge TENG.
  • Achieved record output voltage of 130 V and current density of 0.10 mA cm(-2).
  • Exhibited over 10-fold power enhancement compared to flat film TENGs, even in humid atmospheres.

Conclusions:

  • The inverse opal structured hydrophobic sponge TENG offers superior performance.
  • This technology enables sustainable energy harvesting in diverse, humid environments.
  • The device presents a viable solution for efficient triboelectric energy generation.
