Popis: An increase in the number of small electronics is anticipated, requiring the preparation of an adequate powering method. A triboelectric nanogenerator, capable of scavenging ambient mechanical energy, is proposed as an efficient means to reduce power consumption for self-sustainable sensors, although its electrical output needs enhancement to broaden its technological applicability. In this work, a magnetic composite comprising iron oxide and polyaniline was synthesized to augment triboelectricity through the modulation of magnetic field intensity using physical chemistry. The crystallinity of the composite, chemical bonding, and structure of the surface are analyzed. The surface potential of the composite, embedded into polydimethylsiloxane, is quantitatively evaluated by using Kelvin probe force microscopy. By amalgamating magnetic flux density and triboelectric outputs, the optimization of the triboelectric layer is achieved, yielding output values of 93.86 V, 6.9 µA, and 127.5 µW. Following a reduction in surface adhesion after the powder coating process, a wind-based triboelectric nanogenerator is fabricated. Its excellent sensitivity to wind and exceptional long-term endurance are assessed, confirming its suitability as a sensor. The practicality of employing this device in intrusion detection, leveraging a wireless door-opening sensor, is demonstrated using synthesized composite materials.
