Comprehensive resource on the fundamentals, recent research developments, and applications of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs)

Triboelectric Nanogenerators delivers a comprehensive overview of a lightweight, low cost, and high-efficiency sustainable mechanical energy harvesting technique that draws from the ambient environment and has high output and extremely flexible structural designs.

The book starts with an introduction on triboelectric nanogenerator technology, then continues to discuss the latest fundamental studies about TENGs, including models of triboelectric effect, the discharge effect, and standardized evaluation. The next part explains new output performance promotion of TENGs for power generation applications, including output promotion through multiple methods, as well as power management and effective energy storage. The last part explores new concepts inspired by the field of TENGs, including applications in sensing, actuation, data science, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart cities.

Written by a team of highly qualified academics with significant research experience in the field, Triboelectric Nanogenerators includes information on:

Triboelectric Nanogenerators is an essential reference for scientists, engineers, students, and professionals in related fields seeking to understand this exciting energy harvesting technique and gain all of the knowledge needed to help further progress in the field.

This thesis focuses on NHC-catalyzed annulation of nitroalkenes, enals and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. (1) NHCs were found to be efficient catalysts for the [4+2] annulation of β-substituted nitroalkenes. The scope of Rauhut–Currier reaction was successfully extended to the most challenging β-substituted alkenes by this method; (2) Enals were successfully used for [4+2] annulations with azodicarboxylates catalyzed by NHC via γ-addition. Highly enantiopure tetrahydropyridazinones and γ-amino acid derivatives could be easily prepared by subsequent transformations of the resulting dihydropyridazinones. (4) The readily available α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids were first successfully employed to generate the α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates by using NHC for the enantioselective [3+2] and [3+3] annulations.
