【 摘 要 】

Safety concerns require the frequently check for leaks in gas pipelines. Also, in coal mines the type gases permeating from theground need to be monitored. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can be applied for gas sensing without external power supply.In this paper, a two-dimensional model of a TENG was established, and a gas jet a rectangular cross section was added between twotriboelectric materials. The TENG could generate distinguishable electrical signals according to the different types of gas and thedifferent gas injection areas. This work contributes to the area of self-powered gas sensing.
