Abstract

In this work, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based triboelectric nanogenerator device (TENG) is manufactured by depositing nanocomposites on two ITO coated PET Sheets acting as a positive and negative triboelectric layer. Then after this TENG device is integrated with the RF rectifier and solar film for realizing hybrid energy harvester. The RF rectifier is designed for 3.3 GHz and low input power level. The maximum efficiency of the rectifier at 1.5 dBm RF input power level is 52.9%. The rectifier is designed using ADS software and Skyworks SMS 7630 diode. The microstrip line based open stubs are used for designing the input matching network of the rectifier. The output DC voltage is increased by 34% when TENG device is also connected with the RF rectifier and solar film as compared to the DC voltage produced by RF rectifier alone. The measured maximum DC voltage is 1.87 volts when TENG device is connected with the solar and RF rectifier.
