Popis: Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are energy converters or energy harvesters that convert mechanical motion into electrical energy on the basis of their material properties. A particular advantage of the TENG is its ability to convert small, low-frequency and random mechanical movements that are relevant for body movements and wearable applications. Within the presented study, different Parylene types were analysed as the dielectric material in TENG and found to be promising with respect to providing high output voltages and powers, respectively. Besides the verification of the usability of Parylene for TENG and its superior triboelectric properties, also significant differences were found between the Parylene types.
