The study investigates the design, fabrication, and performance optimization of water-solid triboelectric nanogenerators for sustainable energy harvesting. Utilizing mechanical energy from falling water droplets, the research explores how droplet height, surface angle between the water droplets and the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) strip, and triboelectric material pairing influence electrical output. Four TENG configurations were tested using aluminum or copper as electron donors and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) or Kapton tape as electron acceptors. The experimental results revealed that the Aluminum–FEP combination yielded the highest voltage (591 mV) at a droplet height of 300 mm and 75° angle. A Random Forest (RF) regression model was developed to predict voltage output based on experimental parameters, achieving a high R2 value of 0.88. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was employed alongside RF to determine the optimal configuration for maximum voltage generation. The PSO optimization revealed that the highest voltage output of 587.18 mV was obtained at a 68° inclination angle and a droplet height of 277 mm, with aluminium as the donor and FEP as the acceptor material. These findings suggest that water-solid triboelectric nanogenerators hold substantial promise for powering low-energy devices and supporting decentralized energy systems.
