An Ultra-Durable Windmill-Like Hybrid Nanogenerator for Steady and Efficient Harvesting of Low-Speed Wind Energy

Abstract
Highlights A novel windmill-like hybrid nanogenerator with contact-separation structure was proposed for harvesting breeze energy at low wind speed. A spring steel sheet was creatively used both as an electrode of triboelectric nanogenerator and a booster for contact-separation activity. A magnetic acting as a bifunctional element supplies magnetic flux variation in electromagnetic generator and overcomes electrostatic adsorption between tribolayers simultaneously.
