【 摘 要 】

Capturing mechanical energy from the surroundings is a potential strategy to power different sensor nodes and devices. In past few years, Triboelectric effect has been recently utilized in energy harvesting devices as a method to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. One of the major limitations of the triboelectric mechanism based devices is that they are only responsive to stimulation in a single direction. This limitation hinders the application of triboelectric mechanism devices in various practical situations. In this paper, we present a novel design for triboelectric mechanism based devices which is sensitive to excitation in multiple directions.
