 1 Abstract
Report the preparation of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils
(TOCN) aerogel films with a high specific surface area by a
simple and controllable method.
TOCN aerogel films with different structures were prepared in
one-step by a direct freeze-drying process from quick freezing
TOCN dispersions.
Without the addition of any fillers and chemical modification, the
pure TOCN aerogel film based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)
devices achieved a record power density of 156 mW/m2.
Influencing factors of the device preparation and recyclability of
the pure cellulose triboelectric material were systematically
investigated.

 2 Introduction

cellulose molecule models

hydroxyl groups, ether bonds and other oxygen-containing functional groups:

strong electron-donating ability  lose electron  high positive triboelectric

aerogel film: High specific surface area (SSA) and porosity structure
 enhance the electrostatic response in the pore and obtain stronger triboelectric output
