Nagaon University researchers create electricity generator from teak wood waste
Researchers at Nagaon University, led by Dr. Parikshit Gogoi, have developed an eco-friendly triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) using lignin extracted from teak wood waste. Combined with PVDF, the lignin-based nanofibres generate electricity from friction, powering small devices like LEDs and calculators. The P10-L5 TENG achieved 60 mW/m², outperforming pure PVDF devices, and maintained stable operation over 10,000 cycles. The innovation leverages local natural resources, offering potential applications in wearable electronics and sustainable energy solutions.
