Abstract

The urgent need for efficient waste-to-electricity solutions necessitates the development of renewable energy sources, marking a revolutionary step forward in both waste management and energy production. The present study explores the potential of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to convert automobile waste into renewable energy. Recycled flexible automobile waste materials, polyethylene bags, and plastic bottles were utilized to fabricate automobile-based TENGs (A-TENGs). The morphological characteristics and tensile strength of the selected flexible recycled automobile waste are systematically analyzed. The electrical performance of ten different A-TENG devices is evaluated, the device with recycled airbag generated a maximum voltage/current of 464.76 V/75.30 μA. The optimized A-TENG could successfully charge commercial electrolytic capacitors and power a series of green light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Furthermore, a self-powered fuel combustion sensor using A1-TENG is designed and also, and the device is integrated with green and red LEDs to create a safety mechanism that addresses pedal confusion in automobiles during learning. The findings in the present work highlight the potential of TENGs in transforming automotive waste into a renewable clean energy source while contributing to enhanced vehicle safety.
