｜主題：Triboelectric nanosensor: a prototype of self-powered sensor based on surface triboelectrification
｜摘要：Designing devices with self-powered sensing function has become a popular research field since its emergence in recent decades. Triboelectrification occurs when two materials come into contact with each other, causing charge transfer that leads to oppositely charged surfaces; the amount of charge transfer varies depending on material composition. By combining triboelectrification with electrostatic induction, relevant devices can be designed. If used for energy collection purposes, scientists generally refer to them as Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs); but if used for self-powered sensing purposes, scientists call them Triboelectric Nanosensors (TENSs). In our previous research on TENSs, we demonstrated the concept of selective detection of some targets by specific materials or their surface-modified probes. When the targets are adsorbing or binding to the surface, different electrical output signals will be generated compared to before, and these changes can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the targets. In the past few years, we have further developed solid-liquid TENSs for measuring targets such as metal ions, small molecules, proteins and microorganisms. Compared with our previously developed solid-solid TENSs, we have not only improved several shortcomings but also established sensing mechanism and working principle which are very important research achievements in this field. We also look forward to expanding the applications of the solid-liquid TENSs in the near future.
