Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
A knitting-fabricated DC triboelectric nanogenerator is a textile energy-harvesting device produced using conventional knitting machinery, in which conductive and dielectric yarns are knitted together so that everyday body movement generates electrical charge through repeated contact and separation between the fibers. Unlike standard triboelectric generators that output alternating current requiring external rectification, this design produces direct current output natively from the fabric structure itself, and can be knitted into a whole garment rather than added as a separate patch or module.
