| description | With technology advancing at a rapid pace, wearable technology and the convenience it brings about is becoming increasingly commonplace. Its prevalence, coupled with ever-growing reliance on this convenience has led to methods of charging these many devices evolving and being more convenient too. An advancement in technology should come with an improvement in our material usage in a bid to reduce the environmental impact. One possible method is to use sustainable and biodegradable materials such as the electrodes of the TENG devices. Utilising natural materials that are considered waste and in abundance would not only reduce by-products and add value to ‘waste’, but would also provide an untapped large amount of raw material.
In this study, the feasibility of using sustainable materials to replace currently non-environmentally friendly common materials is tested by comparing a common material to two sustainable options for negative electrode materials. The optimisation of those materials are tested against four positive electrode materials to investigate the potential trends between current sustainable options. The investigation of these trends carries potential for a large range of sustainable materials to be researched on for not only optimising, but also, replacing environmentally unfriendly materials. |
