This could herald a new option in the mix of renewable energy sources.

Previous work in this area has led to the development of droplet-based TENG, commonly called D-TENGs. While these devices have very high instantaneous output, one would need multiple D-TENGs to generate the megawatt-level electricity that power plants usually generate.

A team of researchers led by Zong Li, a professor at the Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School in China, took inspiration from solar panels to set up bridge array generators and reduce the influence of capacitance.When raindrops fall on a surface of a panel of the D-TENG, called the FEP surface, the droplet becomes positively charged while the surface becomes negatively charged.

Researchers used bridge array generators with different sizes of sub-electrodes and panels of various thicknesses to see if there was an impact on the power loss. D-TENG panels built with bridge array generators were found to be independent of each other, and that meant that the unintended power loss could be reduced.
