Integration of two-dimensional WS<sub>2</sub> in flexible textile triboelectric nanogenerators <i>via</i> electronic dyeing for self-powered sensing
We present flexible textile triboelectric nanogenerators by electronically dyeing polyester with two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (2D WS<sub>2</sub>), thereby enhancing its triboelectric properties when paired with nylon. Drop casting, immersion, and spray coating were evaluated, demonstrating their effectiveness in tailoring the fabric's triboelectric properties, showcasing 2D WS<sub>2</sub>'s potential for self-powered sensors and energy-harvesting applications.
