Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) plays a crucial and indispensable role in modern society. Since the energy harvested by triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can be used either in battery-based or battery-less self-powered wireless systems, it holds an immense promise as a potential energy choice for WSNs. Due to the huge impedance of TENG, an instantaneous discharging unit is essential. However, as the harvested energy from TENG has high randomness, present discharging units cannot achieve high energy conversion efficiency, stability and universality at the same time. Here, an adaptive threshold voltage based synchronous switching unit (SSU) is proposed to meet all the above criteria. Systematic theoretical and experimental investigations have been conducted to optimize the performance, achieving energy conversion efficiency up to 82.7 % and high universality compatible with almost all kinds of TENGs. Finally, SSU is utilized in battery-based and battery-less self-powered systems, demonstrating its comprehensive all-round properties in achieving high energy conversion efficiency, stability and universality.
无线传感器网络(WSN)在现代社会中扮演着不可或缺的重要角色。由于三电纳米发电机(TENG)采集的能量既可用于基于电池的无线系统,也可用于无需电池的自供电无线系统,因此它作为 WSN 的潜在能源选择前景广阔。由于 TENG 的阻抗很大,因此必须有一个瞬时放电装置。然而,由于从 TENG 采集的能量具有高度随机性,目前的放电装置无法同时实现高能量转换效率、稳定性和通用性。在此,我们提出了一种基于自适应阈值电压的同步开关单元(SSU),以满足上述所有标准。通过系统的理论和实验研究对其性能进行了优化,实现了高达 82.7 % 的能量转换效率,以及与几乎所有种类的 TENG 兼容的高通用性。最后,在基于电池和无电池的自供电系统中使用了 SSU,证明了它在实现高能量转换效率、稳定性和通用性方面的全面特性。
