description [Image: see text] A novel contact–separation triboelectric generator concept is proposed in this study, which is composed of a double-sided tape with acrylic adhesive material and a metalized polyester (PET/Al) film (an aluminum layer coating on one side). The proposed concept is very cost-effective and easy to fabricate compared to existing triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), which require special equipment and sophisticated procedure to build. The strong bonding nature of acrylic adhesive on the tape induces a significant charge when contacting. The peak power generation depends on the induced pressure at the impact. During the separation phase, the air breakdown between triboelectric layers allows most existing electrons to flow back from the ground due to rapid charge removal at the interface. A higher voltage can be generated when the PET is interfaced with the double-sided tape compared to the Al-acrylic configuration because of the effect of triboelectric series and a Schottky barrier formation for electrons at the tape–Al interface during contact. A double-electrode configuration with an assembly of Al/PET–tape–PET/Al significantly improved the performance, in which a 21.2 mW peak power is achieved compared to 7.6 mW in the single-electrode design with tape–PET/Al assembly when excited at 20 Hz in a shaker test. This double-electrode triboelectric generator can power 476 LEDs with an active area of 38 mm × 25 mm. Moreover, a direct power of a 650 nm laser diode was demonstrated. In summary, the proposed triboelectric generator concept using tacky materials shows the potential for higher-energy harvesting via triboelectrification and advances the state of the art by offering low cost and easy fabrication options. It is expected that such newly proposed triboelectric generators are able to meet power requirements in many engineering applications.
