A Chinese team fabricated a high-performance rotary triboelectric nanogenerator to reduce energy waste caused by air breakdown. With the help of management circuits, the output voltage can reach 6 kV, which can effectively kill mosquitoes and destroy bacteria in the environment CREDIT Nano Research Energy, Tsinghua University Press
