1. A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) comprising:
a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer;
a three-dimensional (3D)-spacer fabric formed on each of a front surface and a back surface of the PDMS layer, and having a three-dimensional structure on each of a front surface of thereof and a back surface thereof; and
an electrode inserted between the PDMS layer and each 3D-spacer fabric,
wherein each of the front and back surfaces of the 3D-spacer fabric has one of a single jersey structure, a honeycomb structure, or a tricot structure.
