Abstract:
Self-powered sensors have attracted significant interest for individual wearable device operation. Here, transparent and wearable single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerators (SETENGs) with high power generation are created using electrospun Ag nanowires (AgNWs)/poly(vinylidenefluoride-cotrifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] composite nanofibers (NFs). The SETENGs generate an output power density of up to 217 W/m2 with repetitive contact and separation from the surface of a latex glove. In electrospun P(VDF-TrFE) NFs, the crystalline β-phase is highly oriented by oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of AgNWs, endowing the F-rich surface with high electron negativity and enabling efficient triboelectrification. Additionally, 80% transmittance at a light wavelength of 550 nm, mechanical stability, and durability after 10 000 cycles at 10% strain are confirmed by filling the NF pores with plasma desorption mass spectrometry. Our SETENG acts as an effective energy harvester by powering 45 light-emitting diodes and as an excellent real-time, self-powered touch panel.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
