In this paper, a novel cantilever triboelectric energy harvester (TEH) working on the contact-separation mode is proposed for low-frequency vibration energy harvesting. An electro-mechanical model of TEH with non-parallel contact surfaces is derived by evaluating the total electrical energy between...
