Abstract
The present invention relates to a neuro-stimulator, and more particularly, to a rotational triboelectric nanogenerator for a neuro-stimulator providing, as a device that may directly utilize nerve stimulation triboelectricity generated by rotational energy for nerve electrical stimulation, a device that may adjust waveforms and stimulation parameters of electricity generated during frictional contact through a combination of various materials with triboelectric properties and patterns of materials and electrodes, implement various nerve stimulation parameters by adjusting an external rotational speed or a distance between friction layers, does not require complicated circuits or voltages and batteries to drive the batteries, and may be driven through relatively small volume, inexpensive materials, a simple structure, and a simple operation method.
