Thermally Robust Aramid Triboelectric Materials Enabled by Heat‐Induced Cross‐Linking

Abstract The rapid development of the Internet of Things has led to numerous functional electronic devices, making it a significant challenge to provide power for these distributed devices. Triboelectric self‐power technology is ideal for smart devices due to its material diversity and high energy efficiency. However, traditional triboelectric materials have weak electrostatic induction due to their low dielectric constant. Additionally, the thermionic emission effect reduces their electric output in high temperatures, limiting their applications. This study designes a thermally robust aramid triboelectric material with a high dielectric constant through heat‐induced cross‐linking heterogeneous interface engineering. This novel material not only achieves high triboelectric output but also maintains high performance across a wide temperature range. The heat‐induced cross‐linking process enhances the interaction between aramid nanofibers and Al 2 O 3 nanosheets, significantly improving the electrical performance, and flame retardance of the material, and the relative dielectric constant increases 16‐fold. The triboelectric nanogenerator constructed with this material achieves a power density of 3.97 W m −2 , and maintains high triboelectric output at 260 °C. Finally, a self‐powered detection system collects high‐temperature gas energy and drives sensors is designed. This research presents a novel strategy for high‐performance triboelectric materials, showing significant potential for self‐powered devices.

Abstract

Abstract The rapid development of the Internet of Things has led to numerous functional electronic devices, making it a significant challenge to provide power for these distributed devices. Triboelectric self‐power technology is ideal for smart devices due to its material diversity and high energy efficiency. However, traditional triboelectric materials have weak electrostatic induction due to their low dielectric constant. Additionally, the thermionic emission effect reduces their electric output in high temperatures, limiting their applications. This study designes a thermally robust aramid triboelectric material with a high dielectric constant through heat‐induced cross‐linking heterogeneous interface engineering. This novel material not only achieves high triboelectric output but also maintains high performance across a wide temperature range. The heat‐induced cross‐linking process enhances the interaction between aramid nanofibers and Al 2 O 3 nanosheets, significantly improving the electrical performance, and flame retardance of the material, and the relative dielectric constant increases 16‐fold. The triboelectric nanogenerator constructed with this material achieves a power density of 3.97 W m −2 , and maintains high triboelectric output at 260 °C. Finally, a self‐powered detection system collects high‐temperature gas energy and drives sensors is designed.
