Development of Highly Durable Sliding Triboelectric Nanogenerator Using Diamond-Like Carbon Films

Climate change is affecting every being on the planet. The time has arrived to give a big push for harvesting renewable energy sources, thus reducing the dependencies on fossil fuels and chemical batteries. This inspired Nanotechnologists to explore energy harvesting techniques from the environment....
