    Exploring Triboelectric Properties in Sputtered Si(100)/SiO2/Cr/ZnO Thin Films - Ag/FEP Using Contact Speration Technique for Renewable Energy Harvesting

    Yüzüak, Gizem Durak; Benhala, B.; Raihani, A.; Qbadou, M.

    Currently, there is an ongoing inquiry into triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), which use the triboelectric phenomenon to capture electrical energy from mechanical vibrations. The work aims to figure out the magnetron sputtered Cr/ZnO-based films on SiO2/Si(100) substrates with the construction of a Cr/ZnO-Ag/FEP tribo-based nanogenerator (TENG) and a specific emphasis on measuring TENG properties. The structural investigation of these films was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD) photoluminescence (PL), attenuated total reflectance fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (AT-FTIR), and current - voltage (I-V) analysis in contact-separation mode (CSM). The Cr/ZnO-Ag/FEP TENG has a notable instantaneous maximum output voltage of around 63 V and a current density of 7 μA/cm2 when compared to other nanogenerators based on semiconductors, as determined by a comparative analysis. The results of this study provide useful information on the possible application of optimized magnetron sputtered Cr/ZnO-based films in triboelectric and energy harvesting systems, which might contribute to the progress of sustainable and renewable energy technologies.

    In this study, the TiNbTaZr (TNTZ) alloys, which do not contain toxic and allergic elements, have been coated with hard ZrN physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings to increase their in-vitro corrosion resistance. In-vitro electrochemical behavior of the ZrN coating and uncoated TNTZ alloy was evaluated using open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDS) techniques, respectively. The characterizations of the coatings were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM examinations showed that ZrN coating is homogeneous. Besides, ZrN coating had a higher corrosion resistance than uncoated TNTZ alloy in Hank's solution.
