Description

<jats:p>Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), using Maxwell's displacement current as the driving force, can effectively convert mechanical energy into electricity. In this work, an extensive review of theoretical models of TENGs is presented. Based on Maxwell's equations, a formal physical model is established referred to as the quasi-electrostatic model of a TENG. Since a TENG is electrically neutral at any time owing to the low operation frequency, it is conveniently regarded as a lumped circuit element. Then, using the lumped parameter equivalent circuit theory, the conventional capacitive model and Norton's equivalent circuit model are derived. Optimal conditions for power, voltage, and total energy conversion efficiency can be calculated. The presented TENG models provide an effective theoretical foundation for understanding and predicting the performance of TENGs for practical applications.</jats:p>
