Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are widely applied to the self-powered devices and force sensors. TENGs consists of the electrode-layer frequently made of high-cost conductors (Ag, Au, ITO) and the tribo-layer of rigid negative-triboelectricity fluoropolymers (PTFE, FEP). The surface morpholoy is studied for enhancing performance.
