Harvesting hydropower 135 energy of the water flow was effectively converted into electricity, which is capable of instantaneously lighting up 100 commercial LEDs. Through a real-time measurement of the current signal (Figure 5c), the Jsc generated by the water flow can be as high as 20 mA/m2. From this demon- stration, the similar methodology can be expanded to the applications of harvesting energies from ocean wave and wind power, which will make the multi-layered TENG an effective approach to harvesting large-scale mechanical energies.

Conclusions In summary, we demonstrated a new TENG structure by coaxially integrating multiple layers disk TENGs, which can harvest mechanical energy to drive the rotation motion of multiple layers disks and generate a multiplied electrical output. To realize an effective structural integration and output multiplication, we adopted the following two strategies. First, a D-shape shaft was used to realize the synchronized relative rotation of all the segmentally-structured disk layers so that the output from each layer can be perfectly added-up. In addition, to achieve intimate contact of the tribo-surfaces, light weight and low stiffness springs were adopted to fix the whole structure and provide a gentle pressing force. Through sys- tematical performance characterization, the power superposi- tion from every single layer of the multi-layered disk TENG was clearly demonstrated. With the above rational design, the nanogenerator, when operating at the rotation speed of 1000 rpm, can produces an open-circuit voltage up to $ 470 V and a short-circuit current density of 90.6 mA/m2, correspond- ing to an instantaneous maximum power density of 42.6 W/m2 (2.68 kW/m3) at a rotation speed of 1000 rpm. After combining the TENG with a water turbine, a water flow from a common household faucet can drive the device to generate high-output electricity, which is capable of instantaneously driving 100 commercial electronics (LEDs). Owing to the vast applicability of the disk-structured TENG and the effective power enhance- ment from the multi-layer integration, the multi-layered disk- TENG we demonstrated in this paper represents an important advance of TENGs toward practical application and shows great potential in hydroelectric power and wind power industries.
