Abstract

We present flexible textile triboelectric nanogenerators by electronically dyeing polyester with two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (2D WS₂), thereby enhancing its triboelectric properties when paired with nylon. Drop casting, immersion, and spray coating were evaluated, demonstrating their effectiveness in tailoring the fabric's triboelectric properties, showcasing 2D WS₂'s potential for self-powered sensors and energy-harvesting applications.
