The widespread vibration is one of the most promising energy sources for IoT and small sensors, and broad-frequency vibration energy harvesting is important. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can convert vibration energy into electrical energy through triboelectricity and electrostatic induction, providing an effective solution to the collection of broad-frequency vibration energy. Also, the power supply in constrained and compact spaces has been a long-standing challenge. Here, a miniaturized power supply (MPS) based on a broad-frequency vibration-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is developed. The size of the MPS is 38 mm × 26 mm × 20 mm, which can adapt to most space-limited environments. The TENG device is optimized through theoretical mechanical modeling for the external stimuli, it can efficiently harvest vibrational energy in the frequency range of 1–100 Hz and has a high output power density of 134.11 W/cm3. The developed device demonstrates its practical application potential in powering small electronics like LEDs, watches, and timers.
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) CN sheets have attracted extensive attention in the field of photocatalysis because of their shorter diffusion path of photogenerated carriers and abundant surface reaction sites than bulk CN. However, 2D CNs still exhibit poor visible-light photocatalytic activity because of a strong quantum size effect. Here, PCN-222/CNs vdWHs were successfully constructed using the electrostatic self-assembly method. The results showed that PCN-222/CNs vdWHs with 1 wt.% PCN-222 enhanced the absorption range of CNs from 420 to 438 nm, which improved the absorption capacity of visible light. Additionally, the hydrogen production rate of 1 wt.% PCN-222/CNs is four times that of the pristine 2D CNs. This study provides a simple and effective strategy for 2D CN-based photocatalysts to promote visible light absorption.
