1. A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) comprising:
a triboelectric layer formed of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material, wherein the triboelectric layer has a porous sponge structure; and
flexible electrodes coupled to an upper surface and a lower surface of the triboelectric layer,
wherein the flexible electrodes are formed of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-PDMS material,
wherein each of the flexible electrodes is formed of a material in which the CNT and the PDMS are mixed in a weight ratio of 0.004:10,
wherein an average voltage and standard distribution of the CNT-PDMS electrode-based TENG are 175.1 V and 67.0 V, and
wherein positive peak output voltages and negative peak output voltages of the CNT-PDMS electrode-based TENG are 231.2 V and −356.2 V.
