Abstract
current density in the vertical separating mode. Applications onto the human body are also demonstrated: the output of 6 V and 600 nA (3 V and 300 nA) could be achieved when the FTNG was attached to a cloth (wore on a wrist). The output of FTNG was maintained after washing or long-time working. This FTNG is highly adaptable to the human body and has the potential to be a promising mobile and portable power supply for wearable electronic devices.
