Abstract
Harnessing raindrops for energy generation offers a promising path for meeting the increasing demand for renewable energy. This study explored the potential of
Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) arrays to capture energy from rainfall, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional energy sources. The research involved a controlled experimental setup where water droplets were directed onto a TENG device with strategically positioned electrodes. An in-depth analysis of existing research on raindrop energy harvesting and TENG arrays was conducted, covering various concepts, frameworks, and traditional TENG designs, as well as their modifications to enhance efficiency. Key findings indicated that TENG arrays have significant potential for sustainable raindrop energy harvesting. Optimizing the design of TENG arrays can improve their efficiency in converting raindrop energy into electrical power. Comparative assessments of different design strategies highlighted the pros and cons of various modification techniques. These results have important implications for renewable energy technology, suggesting that TENG arrays could reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower environmental impacts. The study emphasizes the need for ongoing research and development in energy harvesting to support future sustainable energy solutions. the research demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of TENG arrays in harvesting raindrop energy, underscoring their potential role in the transition to renewable energy sources and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.
