Popis: The functionalized polymer with scalable properties presents a promising option for flexible triboelectric nanogenerators designed for detecting human motion. In this study, a novel method to fabricate tribopositive composite film was proposed by incorporating high permittivity N-doped orange peel-based carbon dots (O-CDs) into the highly cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The O-CDs/PVA sensor showed elevated electrical output with the raised content of O-CDs until 1.5 wt. % with a peak voltage of 3.5 V. The response characteristics under various external force conditions were tested, and the maximum peak voltage and current reached 3.92 V and 28.6 A under the force of 50 N. Moreover, O-CDs/PVA sensors present superior high-output stability, durability, and accurate distinction to different movement states, even the vocal cord vibration. By introducing the support vector machine learning algorithm, intelligent gesture recognition was achieved. This work paves a facile, feasible, and scalable pathway to the self-powered human motion sensor device.
