As the world enters the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless devices and their networks become essential fundamental components. Recently, with the rapid development of the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), breakdown discharge has become an emerging hot topic in the field since it is the key limiting factor of the output performance, and it may also trigger new applications such as self-powered wireless sensing. However, understandings of the discharge behaviors in TENG are still limited. This study proposed a method to study the breakdown discharge with a large serial resistance and discovered the time-lag behavior of the breakdown discharge. A model based on the Eyring equation is demonstrated to explain this time-lag phenomenon. A convenient method to adjust the breakdown-discharge voltage is developed through this study. As an application, a wireless spark switch being modulated by a series-connected resistance is designed, which may be potentially utilized in wireless applications. |
