Case Study

FEP-Based U-Tube Triboelectric Nanogenerator

Pan, Lun, et al. Nano Research, 2018, 11, 4062-4073.

In this work, a 1.0 mm thick FEP U-tube was used to construct a U-tube triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for harvesting water wave energy. The effects of 11 liquid properties on the output performance of TENG were studied, and the results showed that the pure water-based U-tube TENG had the best output effect. In addition, the optimized sandwich water-FEP U-tube TENG was used to harvest water wave energy, showing high output.
Fabrication of U-tube TENG
· A U-tube TENG was constructed using a 1.0 mm-thick FEP tube with various inner diameters (4, 6, 8, and 10 mm) known for its high polarity and transparency.
· Two conducting Cu tapes, each 88.5 μm thick, were attached to the FEP tube with a tunable length L (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 cm) and a gap length Lgap (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cm) between them.
· The FEP U tube was partially filled with different liquids (1-hexane, 2-ether, 3-chlorobenzene, 4-isopropanol, 5-acetone, 6-ethanol, 7-N,N-dimethylformamide, 8-acetonitrile, 9-ethylene glycol, 10-DMSO, and 11-water) to a tunable volume V_liquid (1-9 mL), positioning the liquid level in the center of the two Cu tapes.
· Leads were then welded onto the Cu electrodes to complete the U-tube TENG.

Custom Q&A

What are the unique properties of fluoroplastics?

Very high working temperatures; Non-stick characteristic; Low friction surface; Very high resistance to chemicals and solvents; Very high electrical resistance.

Which fluoroplastic is considered the grandfather of all fluoroplastics?

PTFE

What are the benefits of PTFE?

Best price: performance ratio; Continuous working temperature of +260°C; Resistance to nearly all chemicals; Highly non-stick; Translucent color.

What is the main disadvantage of PTFE?

PTFE does not actually melt when heated and is therefore difficult to process.

What is the melt-processable version of fluoropolymer?

FEP

What is the maximum operating temperature of FEP?

+200°C

What are the benefits of FEP?

Welding and re-moulding potential; Operating working temperatures of -200°C to +200°C; Total resistance to chemicals and UV; Bio-compatible; Clear color.

What is the high temperature version of FEP?

PFA

What are the benefits of PFA?

Continuous working temperature of +260°C; Welding and re-moulding potential; Good permeability resistance; Excellent chemical resistance, even at elevated temperatures; Bio-compatible; High purity grades available; Clear color.
