Abstract
, and power 240 LEDs in series at a contact frequency of 3.0 Hz. The device can act not only as a power supply to drive electronic devices, but also as an energy collector to collect the energy of human movements. Particularly, as an electronic switch, the device enabled a high current amplification through the Darlington transistor circuit. Consequently, this work provides a new perspective of flexible and stretchable MCH-TENGs for wearable electronic devices.
