Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) is of interest as an emerging power harvester due to its high efficiency and simple device architecture. Here, we demonstrate a novel transfer-printing technique of hierarchically dewetted polymer droplets on various TENG surfaces for performance enhancement of the TENGs. Our method is based on controlled dewetting of a thin supramolecular assembled film a prepatterned mold, followed by the physical pattern-transfer of arrays of the dewetted droplets consisting of supramolecular assembled nanostructures. The hierarchically dewetted microdroplets comprising soft-etched nanopores efficiently improve the performance of a TENG by more than three times compared to one without the transferred pattern. The pattern-transfer is successfully achieved on various surfaces including not only oxides, plastics, rubbers, and metals making our approach a convenient way for enhancing the triboelectric performance of a given TENG. |
